Hi, I'm Jenny. I started Slimming World in 2018 after my second was born, mostly because I'd lost track of which biscuit cost what and I'd stopped eating proper meals to save syns for crisps. That's not a plan, that's a slow-motion bad mood.
She Cooks She Eats started as a notes app on my phone — a running list of syn values for things I bought every week that the official directory either didn't have or had a different version of. Aldi own-brand. The big bag of frozen veg from Iceland. The reduced-aisle pasta that changes recipe twice a year. After about a year of friends asking me what the syns were on their own-brand, I figured I should put it somewhere everyone could read.
What makes this site different from the giant content farms: every page is tested in my kitchen, on my plate, in my actual life. I weigh the portion. I read the label. I compare the brands. If a value changes, I update the page and put a date on it. If I get something wrong, you can email me and I'll fix it.
