Service boundary
FamilyRecipeLegacyAI helps organize, transcribe, and format private family recipes. It does not provide nutrition, allergy, food safety, legal, or publishing advice. Families should review every ingredient, measure, name, and story before sharing or printing.
Should every card be included?
Start with a must-keep set, then add optional cards if budget and time allow.
Can duplicate cards be merged?
Yes, but only after a family reviewer confirms which version should appear.
