Community standards
What is the basilly community for?
The community is for practical food decisions: what to cook, where to eat, which substitutions work, how to plan a week, and how to handle dietary needs safely.
How should community answers be written?
The best answers are specific, first-hand, dated, and useful. They explain what worked, what did not, what changed, and what someone should check before relying on it.
How does basilly handle safety-sensitive advice?
Dietary and allergy-related answers should include context, label checks, cross-contact notes, and a reminder that restaurants and ingredients change.
