You can change recipes easily to make them more healthy.

Fat

- Use polyunsaturated fats. If cheese use half fat cheese

Seasoning

- Use herbs, spices, lemon juice, instead of salt which is bad for you

Sugar

- Use artificial sweetener or add natural sugars from fruit e.g. dried apricots
- To make a recipe more healthy you can add fibre by adding fresh fruit and vegetables. Fibre stops constipation.

There are also some other ways to adapt recipes:

Make cheaper

- Add more cereals and bulking goods e.g. more pasta and less sauce

Suit Vegetarian

- Use corn or TVP (textured vegetable protein)

Suit consumer demands

- Make vegetarian, make it dolphin friendly, no beef, not tested on animals
