Dietary and sensory adaptations

These recipes are flexible ideas. Choose suitable ingredients for allergies, coeliac disease, food intolerance or other dietary needs. Check product labels and follow your individual advice.

Use comfortable textures and temperatures. Ingredients can be served separately when preferred. There is no need to add restrictions simply because a condition appears within ALPIMS.

Less preparation and washing up

Pre-grated cheese, frozen vegetables, rice cups and ready-cooked ingredients can reduce steps. Choose one familiar recipe and keep its ingredients together. Ask someone to handle chopping, hot dishes or washing up if needed.

Cooking and storage

Times are approximate and vary with equipment. Follow packet instructions, cook eggs until set, and reheat ready-cooked ingredients until steaming hot throughout. Handle hot plates and steam carefully. Follow storage instructions and refrigerate perishable foods promptly.

ALPIMS is a framework, not a diagnosis. These general recipe ideas are not individually assessed for any particular diet. Adapt portions and ingredients to your needs.
