The information shared in each video is primarily meant for entertainment purposes. If you decide to follow any of the guidelines or suggestions provided, please understand that you are doing so entirely at your own risk. While I can demonstrate how to accomplish certain tasks or activities, I can't physically be there to guide you step-by-step or hold your hand through the process.

When you’re “Cooking with Coles,” you can expect a variety of interesting and sometimes unconventional methods for preparing food ready to eat. Everyone has their own unique palates, and some of the “food” featured on the site might not be everyone’s cup of tea—or moss, in some cases. That being said, Cole is always eager to experiment with new and creative ways to cook, using all-natural ingredients, including, ahem, bugs and weeds. Because, let’s face it, who really knows when those might be the only things left on your plate? Now, just to be clear, this doesn’t mean you should casually stroll out into the yard and start snacking without a clue—there are actually quite a few proper ways to prepare certain “weeds” so they’re safe and (maybe) tasty to eat, and there are definitely a handful of bug varieties that Cole will be trying out in upcoming episodes. So, buckle up for some adventurous and sometimes eyebrow-raising cooking experiments!

These videos are intended purely for entertainment purposes, and any attempt by you to replicate the actions or recipes demonstrated is entirely your own decision and responsibility. While watching the video, please note that Cole did not experience any adverse reactions to the food prepared. However, this in no way guarantees that you will have the same response if you try something similar. Only you fully understand your own allergies and dietary restrictions, so when experimenting with new foods or ingredients featured in the videos, you do so at your own risk. Be prepared for any potential negative consequences, whether from how you prepare the food yourself or from any allergic reactions that might occur after consuming the items shown—proceed carefully and at your own discretion!
