480.0. "Dietary Recipe Service" by GEMVAX::ERICSON () Thu Jul 13 1989 15:11

    I need some information for a manual that I am supposed to write
    for a publishing company.  It's supposed to be a non-fiction book
    about how to set up a dietary recipe service and run it as a small
    business.  Although I am a dieter (have lost 24 pounds in 7 weeks
    in the HMR program at Emerson Hospital), I am not familiar with
    a dietary recipe service.  Does anyone know what it is?  If not,
    what kind of dietary recipe service would you pay money for?  What
    would you want it to?  What kind of service would you expect?

480.1My ideaCOOKIE::WILCOXDatabase Systems/WestThu Jul 13 1989 18:2122
I'm not certain I have any idea of what this would be but how I'd love
to see something like this is:

I send my favorite recipies for conversion to Weight Watcher recipies.

The company sends me back the converted recipie complete with WW exchange
info.  


The actual conversion might be simply into the exchanges or it might be
more complex in that it would include substitution information such as
equivelent info for sugar ---> artificial sweeteners, or instead of
browning flour in butter then adding milk for a sauce, mixing the flour
with milk and forgetting the butter or using reduced calorie margarine,
etc..

Or, maybe the idea would be a "recipie-of-the-month" club kind of thing
where you could specify that you follow WW guidelines or some-other-popular-plan
and you get a new bunch of recipies each month that fit your plan.

Hope some of this helps.  Let us know how it goes!

    know the Caloric value of the recipe.
