Health and Wellbeing Information

The Scottish Government campaign “Eat Better Feel Better” has just launched its new website to encourage people to start cooking and eating well to improve their health. The website contains a variety of recipes to try and the nutrition content of recipes is given to make it easier to make informed choices. For those of you who enjoy interactive videos there is a selection of “cookalong” recipes on the website. Cookalong recipes can be a great way to involve children when cooking the family meal. The web address is http://www.eatbetterfeelbetter.co.uk/
