Overview
Knowing how to interpret nutrition facts is crucial to maintaining a healthy diet. Ignoring nutrition facts may lead to significant over consumption of calories, added sugar, carbohydrates, and other nutrients. That’s why Mama provides information about each recipe’s composition and helps you identify ingredients you prefer to avoid or change.
Compare & Customize
The line‑by‑line ingredients list lets you compare similar options — choose less sodium or added sugar, or more fiber and protein. Tracking specific nutrients for diabetes or heart health? Use the list to manage your intake.
Share your recipes with friends and family and create daily menus.
Mindful Portions
Each recipe provides a single‑serving nutrition list, so 100 calories means 100 calories for you, not for the five servings hiding in the package.
Recipe ingredients can be entered in standard, UK, or metric measurements.
Mama hates surprises… unless it’s a birthday.
Lasagna
Different regions of Italy developed their own distinct versions. The dish known as lasagne al forno, with its signature ragù, béchamel sauce, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, comes from the region of Emilia-Romagna
Moussaka
Although moussaka is famous as a Greek national dish, it was not invented in that country. A mediaeval cook book suggests that moussaka originated in the Levant. It contains a musakhkhan recipe similar to that of moussaka.
Prawns Saganaki
It features large prawns cooked in a spicy tomato sauce with peppers, feta cheese, and oregano. A classic Greek dish named after the sagani (a small, two-handled frying pan) in which it's cooked.
