“Let’s help ourselves, our children, our families and our city eat less sugar – we’re all sweet enough,” is the message behind Sheffield City Council’s ‘Sheffield is sweet enough’ campaign.

This is a major public health initiative to help families, schools and healthcare professionals tackle sugar consumption, to reduce tooth decay and obesity.

"Our aim is to provide a fun, positive way to share easy, affordable recipes and sugar swaps. The idea is that this will be less of a traditional recipe book and more of a low sugar inspiration and ed ucation book, with top tips, help and advice for cutting back on sugar but still being able to enjoy tasty meals and snacks. We would love for the book to be created in partnership with our residents and want all our communities to get involved. We’d love to hear from anyone looking to be a part of this great initiative aimed at sharing the facts and helping the city make smarter, healthier choices in regard to food and drink.”
