Sustainability tips
Our promise
Where possible, we use humanely reared and certified British meats, poultry and eggs, wild game and sustainably sourced seafood. This includes canned items.
We try to give weights for average pack sizes in many instances, there are few universal pack sizes so shopping requires some adjustment on your part, a little less or a little more of an ingredient like herbs will not ruin a recipe, nor will a few extra grams in a tin or an extra 25g meat.
To avoid waste, we suggest how to use any leftovers you may have from our recipes, or how to store them to prolong their life.
We only recommend peeling vegetable if we feel it necessary to the recipe outcome, otherwise we leave it to you. We give recipes for using up veg peeling on this website.
We try to avoid using plastic. This includes the use of plastic wrap. You’ll find instructions to wrap or cover, but we won’t specify what to use unless it is vital to the recipe.
We try to avoid using kitchen paper where possible.
When we use foil or baking parchment, we try to reuse it, if possible, both can be washed several times.
