Published by PortalWeb GmbH, Altdorf UR, Switzerland.
Recipes recreate dishes sold by restaurants and brands; they are our own
reconstructions and we are not affiliated with those companies.

Every recipe page carries Recipe structured data with ingredients,
instructions, times and nutrition estimates.

Calorie figures are calculated from the stated ingredient quantities using
the USDA FoodData Central database and divided by the number of servings,
not estimated. 149 of 213 recipes carry one; the rest
list an ingredient without a quantity, so no figure is given rather than a
guessed one. Serving counts are derived from batch weight against the FDA
reference amounts for the dish type (21 CFR 101.12).
