The recipes are indexed by type, then alphabetically. I've included a selction of tags as an aid for nutritionally
balancing a meal plus, if appropriate, the country of origin or influence to help put together a themed meal,
although I've also included some themed groups.
Most of the recipes that aren't originals have been 'tweaked' in some way based either on
personal preference or ingredient availability, but the majority, including almost all in the 'collections', are
entirely original. I have included the original source for most of them, but for
some of the earlier entries, this was never recorded by me - most of these are
probably from the IVU archive: apologies if credit has not been given.
Browsers may be surprised to see a lack of puddings; this
doesn't mean we don't eat them at all, merely that we believe that the greater
part of an individual's nutrition should not come from sugar-based foods. If
you're a sugar-addict, there's plenty of other sites catering for your needs -
check out those listed in the links.
