As chefs, we have a responsibility to look after the wellbeing of our customers and we can achieve this goal at least in part by realising that it is possible to cook excellent meals without overloading with cream and butter. In order to be able to prepare foods that fulfil nutritional and dietary requirements as well as specific cultural or religious needs, a thorough understanding of the underpinning information is necessary.
