  • Sulphites

Please check allergens and intolerances yourself — on the packaging, at the bakery, at the butcher's. Recipes change, and a list like this cannot take responsibility for that.

This is what goes on the shopping list when you switch the side to “ready-made” in the week — ready in 5 min.
