Some helpful information about our recipes and their nutrition.
Nutritional information includes any accompaniments suggested within the recipe, such as side salads, rolls or dips.
The majority of our recipes have a heart-healthy nutritional profile, with almost all savoury recipes being low in saturated fat and many providing heart-healthy fats. We've carefully developed each recipe to improve its nutritional profile wherever possible by increasing fibre and protein, choosing healthier fats, reducing salt and saturated fat where practical, and including more pulses, wholegrains and oil-rich fish.
Sweet treats still have a place on the menu. Although we've improved these recipes wherever possible, they're still designed to be enjoyed on special occasions or as an occasional treat.
