Good to know
How long do these take?
Half are done in about 35 minutes. The quickest is around 22 minutes and the longest about 60 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.
Is every recipe here gluten free?
Every recipe in this collection is written without ingredients that break a gluten free diet. We cannot vouch for the brands in your cupboard or for cross-contamination in your kitchen, so check labels as you normally would.
How many calories are in these?
Most land between 450 and 1059 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.
Do these come with a grocery list?
Yes. Any recipe here can be added to a grocery list that adds up quantities across everything you have chosen and sorts it by aisle, so two recipes needing onions become one line.
