On the cookery side

• See 1344 recipes which have a photo for every step. This might not seem much compared to commercial sites announcing thousands of recipes, but these ones are clear, precise, detailed, fully explained with photos, and above all they have been personally tested at home before going on line. I am not trying to pile up recipes, like professional sites, but my aim is to offer you ones that are easily achievable.
• See all the recipes available on the site at a glance, sorted by categories, as a list or picture wall to help you choose.

  3. The list of ingredients, a picture of the finished recipe and an array of dietary information about the recipe

  5. The steps of preparation, each with a photo
  6. Comments and advice on the recipe, what you can change, replace, points that need care
