As with all of our recipes, they are best served as part of a meal. We have a meal planner that helps you plan your weeks meals.
You choose a recipe, drag it to you chosen day and drop it into the meal area. This is divided into breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. You can add new meals if you wish such as High Tea, Lunch Boxes, Snacks etc. You just repeat the recipes until your diary is full as you wish. The section also produces a shopping list which you can print. This way you will have every ingredient you need. If you already have something, you can cross it through before printing.
