How to use recipes on a supermarket site

If you order your groceries online from a supermarket site, that site might also have a section with recipes.

You can search the recipes by different categories such as dinner ideas or popular ingredients. You can also find recipes by diet and lifestyle, such as vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, or high fibre.

Buy ingredients with one click

Most supermarket websites will let you add all the ingredients in a recipe to your shopping basket by clicking or tapping a single button. The site will also let you know if an ingredient is unavailable, and let you skip those ingredients you already have at home.

You can then have the items delivered to your door for a fee. The amount may be more for small-value shops and same-day deliveries.

Other websites have more recipes

You can find a much wider variety of recipes on other websites, by searching using your web browser. Some of these sites have arrangements with supermarkets to allow one-button ordering of the ingredients, but this might not be your preferred supermarket, and some of the ingredients may not be available in your area.

Some examples of recipe websites

The internet has thousands of recipe websites, and some are better suited to Australian tastes and available produce. Here are some popular examples:

• taste.com.au
• recipetineats.com
• bbcgoodfood.com
• kidspot.com.au
• allrecipes.com

Some apps provide dietary advice

You can also search your smartphone’s app store for apps that help with dietary advice and healthy eating. You can download an app for your needs, and have all the information you need collected in the app.

Some of these apps also include recipes and cooking ideas, and advice on how to follow diets that need to avoid certain foods, such as gluten or additives, for example.

eSafety tip

If your doctor has recommended or instructed you to follow a special diet for medical reasons, make sure to follow this as a priority over any advice in an app. If you are unsure about anything an app tells you, talk with your doctor about it before changing anything about your diet.

Well done!
