Another good one is Nutrition Data – it has recipes too and all sorts of things for diet and exercise. I get sucked into those sites asking myself questions like ‘Is a carrot healthier than a cauliflower?’

I cheat sometimes and use frozen herb mixes, I have to admit. Your recipe looks good!

That’s great to know. I have tried a few before but they listed too many packet foods and not enough raw ingredients. As I make most things from scratch, I need to add in each ingredient.
