COOKING

All our recipes are designed for a fan-forced oven. If you have a convention­al oven, you’ll need to increase the temperatur­e by 10-20°C, depending on your oven. All recipes are tested in a 1000W microwave oven.

FREEZING

Pack individual serves into airtight containers. Label with the recipe name and date. Main meals will generally freeze for three to six months, with three being optimal. To reheat, put the dish in the fridge overnight to defrost (never leave it on the bench overnight) or defrost on low/30% in the microwave. Reheat on the stove, in the oven, or microwave it on medium/50%, depending on the dish.

GLUTEN FREE

When a recipe ingredient is tagged ‘gluten free’ it may either be branded gluten free or gluten free by ingredient – please check the label to ensure the product is suitable for you. Note: Some spices carry a ‘may contain’ statement. It is important to check the label of packaged products to ensure they are gluten free.

LOWER CARB

When a recipe is tagged ‘lower carb’ it means it is less than 2 carb exchanges for a main or light meal and less than 1 carb exchange for a snack or dessert. This may be beneficial for people who are trying to control their type 2 with diet and/or medication. If you are on insulin and planning to follow a lower-carb diet, speak to your care team first.
