This guide aims to provide support to families to help them to get the most out of the Healthy Start scheme. The guide provides a range of healthy family recipes using ingredients that can be bought with Healthy Start food vouchers, and shows how these can feed the whole family.
Planning to cook family meals from scratch can help families eat well and keep food costs down. All the recipes in this guide are designed for busy families. The recipes are cost-effective, healthy and delicious. And you don't need lots of equipment or cooking experience to make them.
Each recipe has photos of portion sizes for adult and for children of different ages, and a guide price for each recipe.

Director
Everyone who works at First Steps Nutrition Trust feels passionately about the need for better information and support for good nutrition – and good food – from pre-conception to five years. First Steps Nutrition Trust is supported by generous individual donations and research funding. All the work we do at First Steps is open access for use by anyone working in a not-for-profit capacity in public health, particularly midwives, health visitors, nursery nurses, children’s centre staff and those working in health and social care in Local Authorities. First Steps Nutrition Trust does not work with organisations or individuals that work with, or take funding from, the breastmilk substitute industry and reserves the right not to host those that do at our conferences or sell them our subsidised resources.
