Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How accurate are the recipe calculations?

• The tool uses standard ingredient ratios per serving, adjusted mathematically. Nutrition data is estimated based on USDA values but may vary slightly with brands/preparation.

2. Can I make substitutions for dietary needs?

• Yes! Untick ingredients you can’t eat (e.g., shrimp for shellfish allergies). The tool will update instructions automatically. For gluten-free, ensure your sausage/stock are GF.

3. Why don’t the instructions change when I adjust servings?

• Cooking times remain similar, but quantities scale up/down. For large batches (10+ servings), stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4. How do I save or print my custom recipe?

• Use your browser’s Print function (Ctrl+P/Cmd+P) and select “Save as PDF” or print a hard copy.

5. Is this authentic Creole or Cajun jambalaya?

• This is Creole-style (with tomatoes). For Cajun (no tomatoes), untick the diced tomatoes option.

6. Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?

• Yes, but increase liquid by ¼ cup per serving and cook 10–15 minutes longer. The tool doesn’t auto-adjust for this—monitor texture.

7. Why is my nutrition info different from another website?

• Nutrition varies by ingredient brands and exact measurements. Our tool estimates based on averages for simplicity.

8. How do I adjust spice level after generating the recipe?

• Change the spice radio button and click Generate Recipe again to update instructions (e.g., “Add ½ tsp cayenne for Extra Hot”).

9. Can I use frozen shrimp?

• Yes! Thaw first or add 1–2 minutes to cooking time. The tool assumes raw, peeled shrimp.

10. Why isn’t my language supported?

• We currently offer 10 major languages. If yours isn’t listed, use browser translation tools (like Google Translate) for now.
