Four million recipe cards will be distributed to the public as part of a new healthy eating drive launched today.

More than a thousand supermarket stores across the country are offering discounts on healthy ingredients such as fruit and veg and low fat yoghurts as part of the Department of Health’s Change4Life public health campaign.

The recipe cards are accompanied by an online recipe finder to help households plan cheaper, more nutritious meals as the Government ramps up efforts to persuade English families to eat healthier meals.

Help for families: Change4Life will be issuing four million recipe cards as well as providing an online recipe finder as part of its new healthy eating drive

A Department of Health spokesman said:
‘Shockingly, research has found that the second most popular evening
meal is a sandwich opposed to a balanced meal.

‘This doesn’t have to be the case. If we plan our meals and shopping we can save money and make healthier choices at mealtimes.’

Meanwhile,
celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott has published a free cookbook
containing a month’s worth of popular, healthy recipes which can be
created for under £5.

He
has also filmed YouTube cooking tutorials which will be posted on the
Change4Life website as part of the nation-wide Supermeals initiative.

Public
Health Minister Anne Milton said: ‘The New Year is a good time to think
about losing weight. The Supermeals campaign will give us all some
great ideas for balanced meals on a budget.’

Harriott
added: ‘Sometimes the thought of making meals from scratch can seem a
bit daunting, but I have always tried to assure people that cooking at
home can be really quick, easy and doesn’t need to break the bank.

‘This campaign is a great way to give people the tools and imagination they need to get back into the kitchen and give cooking a try.’

The discounted ingredients will be available at Asda, Co-operative Food and Aldi stores across England.

I agree with DB1. Send these leaflets to those in charge of feeding the elderly on NHS hospital wards!! Elderly people in those places are very malnourished, and some even die of starvation. Why not give them some healthy nutritious food?

i actually think its a great idea! I had home economics lessons at school but i’m still a terrible cook (my poor family). My husband however is great!
But as i’m the one at home i do most of the cooking and admit i find it hard to think of what to cook everyday. I do try to cook from scratch but sometimes i give up and resort to good old smash lol
Also if its cooking on the cheap surely it cant be a bad thing?

The NHS is hardly in a position to tell people what to cook when they are serving absolute garbage that I wouldn’t feed to my dog in their wards. A cardiac unit that serves junk food dripping with grease (and the cheapest of the cheap) while posters advocating eating fish several times a week adorn the walls. Hypocritical or what! As for cooking. I learned to cook by watching my mother as a child, then as I got older, cooking under her watchful eye and also cookery classes at school (along with sewing and knitting). Result is, I can cook from scratch, make lovely meals that are healthy, tasty and don’t cost the earth. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I know what’s gone into the meals I prepare. The knitting and sewing? You’ve guessed it. I make a lot of my own clothes and also for my family.

I’m now hungry and look at the time, not fair at all.

Nature, not a man in a white coat, knows what’s best, and she knows it’s not carb (grain) laden low fat.

Nature? So none of that nasty completely unnaturally farmed food then. I assume you eat nothing that you haven’t either caught or picked from the wild. I assume none of that entirely unnatural cooking for you either or those nasty hot drinks.

Its obvious those in the NHS who devised the leaflets have never spent time in a NHS hospital and had to eat the slop they pass off as food.Unfortunately I have and its disgusting to say the least. Its all very well wasting money on leaflets but might I suggest they first put their own house in order? Having read of malnourished and starving elderly patients on NHS wards maybe the leaflets could be passed to NHS Hospital Managers to aid them prepare emals that are edible and full of flavour and goodness?

Would like to see Eric Pickles front this campaign.

Do mothers of young children still get food vouchers for fresh veg and fruit that can be spent in M S……………seems pointless if they can’t cook!

– dipsy, dipsyland, 02/1/2012 22:20

And they will go straight in the bin. I don’t need the purveyors of state sponsored obesity to tell me about nutrition. Nature, not a man in a white coat, knows what’s best, and she knows it’s not carb (grain) laden low fat.

– Bobby, Inverness, 02/1/2012 22:08

This is a terrible mistake. In view of the level of illiteracy in this country will they also offer remedial reading lessons so everyone can read the cards?
