easiest ever midweek meals

our new health tag

At Good Food , we want to offer recipes that support good health. We believe that following a balanced diet and allowing for indulgence at times is the best way to eat well. Our new health tag will help you do just that. Our midweek meals now feature balanced recipes as well as healthy recipes (you can find the criteria on p153), and we promise they’ll be just as delicious, simple and budget-friendly as always. A balanced recipe will meet the following criteria, which has been set out by our nutritionist Kerry Torrens:

Contribute to your five-a-day

Include a source of starchy carbohydrate

Include a lean source of protein

Include some dairy or plant-based alternatives

Use unsaturated fats and oils in small amounts Ensure sat fat, sugar and salt are medium per 100g – this would be amber on a traffic-light label
