ISMAILI NUTRITION WEBSITE GIVES NEW CUISINE IDEAS
The Nutrition Centre is a resource for anyone who enjoys traditional foods of African, Central and South Asian, and Middle Eastern origin. It features a library of recipes annotated with nutritional information and healthy eating tips, as well as Eating for health, a regular column written by resident dietitian, Azmina Govindji.
The site draws on the findings of the South Asian Food Survey as the primary source for its nutritional data. The survey is a research project that investigated the nutrient content of foods commonly consumed by various South Asian groups living in the United Kingdom. Since its publication in 2000, this data has been available to health professionals but has not been widely accessible to the general public. The Nutrition Centre bridges this gap.
The Nutrition Centre allows traditional recipes to be evaluated against dietary guidelines. Being aware of the healthy and less healthy aspects of your own diet is the first step towards making better choices. In selecting from among the recipes available on the site, choose those that are tasty and healthy — new ones are being added regularly.
