Delia's "Cheat" recipes full of salt
7th April 2008
- Some meals contain more than a whole day's limit
Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) has added up the salt content of some of Delia Smith's latest recipes and has found that several have very high salt levels.
In Delia's new ‘How to Cheat at Cooking' television series and recipe book she encourages people to mix together ready-made foods rather than cook from scratch with fresh ingredients if they are short of time. Unfortunately, many of these ready- made products are already high in salt and many of the “Cheat” ingredients that she adds contain large amounts of salt. On top of this, in many recipes she advises adding extra salt.
