This guide aims to provide support to families to help them to get the most out of the Healthy Start scheme. The guide provides a range of healthy family recipes using ingredients that can be bought with Healthy Start food vouchers, and shows how these can feed the whole family.
Planning to cook family meals from scratch can help families eat well and keep food costs down. All the recipes in this guide are designed for busy families. The recipes are cost-effective, healthy and delicious. And you don't need lots of equipment or cooking experience to make them.
Each recipe has photos of portion sizes for adult and for children of different ages, and a guide price for each recipe.
