About

Most recipe sites solve one problem or the other. There are plenty of places to
find gluten free dinners, and a few that will tell you what to do with half a
cabbage and a tin of beans. Very few will do both at once, which is a shame,
because that is the situation most people are actually in at six o'clock on a
Tuesday.

How the filtering works

Every recipe here is built from a database of ingredients rather than a block of
text. Each ingredient knows what it contains and what it rules out (flour rules
out gluten free, bacon rules out four different requirements at once), so a
recipe is only ever offered for a dietary requirement when nothing in it rules
that requirement out. Nobody has to remember to tick a box.

The same structure is what lets you search by what is in your kitchen. Tell us
you have chickpeas, spinach and a tin of tomatoes and we can say, precisely,
which recipes that covers and what you would still need to buy.

What we are not

We are not a medical service. The nutrition figures are estimated from the
ingredients listed and rounded; the dietary labels are derived from the same
data. Both are a guide for deciding what to cook, not a clinical assessment.
If you are managing a condition, your GP, dietitian or diabetes team knows
things about you that a database never will.

We are also not going to pretend the allergen labels are a substitute for
reading a packet. Manufacturers change recipes. Always check.
