Dietary balance is not achieved in one meal; with careful planning, it happens
over the whole week!
It is important, therefore, to choose a variety of different foods every day. This is why our recipe booklet
offers you numerous original recipes spread out over two weeks, as part of nutritionally balanced menus.
The meals are practical and simple to produce thanks to ActiFry.
More than any other meal, breakfast plays an essential role in a healthy eating plan. A well-planned
first meal of the day not only restocks our body with energy and nutrients after a long night of fasting, it
also sets us up for an efficient morning’s work, reducing the likelihood of snacking and hunger pangs later
in the morning.
As part of a balanced menu, the perfectly balanced breakfast is structured around four essential elements:
one drink, one dairy product, one cereal product and one fruit, whole, juiced or stewed. Whatever your
preference, try to include these as the basis of your breakfast. For our part, we strive to select all of our
products with care based on their nutritional qualities and taste in order to make this essential meal the
first tasty moment of your day!
Lunch and dinner should each contribute approximately 1/3 of the day’s dietary requirements. Aim to
include, a main course (meat or fish accompanied by starchy carbohydrate foods and vegetables), a
cheese or dairy product and a fruit. Keep to the tips on page 6 to achive a healthy balance.

ActiFry cooking hints and tips
• Do not add salt to chips while the chips are in the pan. Only add salt once the chips are removed
from the appliance at the end of cooking.
• When adding dried herbs and spices to Actifry, mix them with some oil or liquid. If you try sprinkling
them directly into the pan they will just get blown around by the hot air system.
• For best results, use finely chopped garlic instead of crushed garlic to avoid it adhering to the central
paddle.
• Please note that strong coloured spices may slightly stain the paddle and parts of the appliance. This
is normal.
• If using onions in ActiFry recipes, they are best thinly sliced instead of chopped as they cook better.
Separate the onion the rings before adding them to the pan and give them a quick stir so that they
are evenly distributed.
• With meat and poultry dishes, stop the appliance and stir the pan once or twice during cooking so
that the food on top does not dry out and the dish thickens evenly.
• Prepare vegetables in small pieces or stir fry size to ensure they cook through.
