What is Brand Chef?
A central point for the best brand recipes
in the UK.
Brand Chef Philosophy: To provide
consumers with innovative, tasty recipes
– with shortcuts.
Brand Chef Portfolio
• A yearly Book
Full of the best brand recipes
(brandipes) from top food brands
in the UK. ‘Brandipes: The Best
Brand Recipes 2013/14’
(Launching August 2013)
• A yearly Bookazine
Provided free to 50,000 food lovers in
the UK. (Contents mirror the book)
• A continually updated website
www.brandipes.com
(Launch Oct 2013)
• i’app
(Launch Oct 2013)
• Blog Roll
(Launch Oct 2013)
This menu of platforms will allow
consumers to find and use brandipes in
their favourite or most convenient format.
The Book: Synopsis
Brands have been providing recipes in
magazines for years and this is becoming
more and more popular as a result of
consumer interaction and usage.
Brand Chef provides a central point to
pull all of these brandipes together for
consumers. Providing quick, tasty home
cooking with practical short cuts, the
book is consistent with the demands on
modern life and popular market trends.
Project Overview
Following two years of moulding the idea
of Brand Chef into a functional Book,
Bookazine, eBook, i’app and online
facility, the project is ready
for launch.
The Brand Chef, Bookazine & Recipe book
brings together consumers favourite
brand recipes from 2013/14. These
recipes are hugely popular with
consumers, with 50% of consumers using
recipes within magazines.
Seven of the UK’s top selling books since
1998 are recipe books, five of which are
based around easy, quick recipes or
learning to cook for beginners. This is
exactly the service that Brand Chef
provides. Further research into the food
market, trends and key recipe book
buyers provides the basis for enormous
potential in book sales, with a core
market of 15m; 30% of which purchase
recipe books.
Brand Chef will take on a strong Brand
identity of its own, providing appeal to
both brands and the target market. The
styling of the brand will immerse itself in
confidence by emanating a 1960’s image
with a modern edge. This 60’s style will
remind target consumers of their family
life, mums cooking and reflect the ‘simple’
times. The modern edge will portray the
concepts time saving ingredient and
trend setting appeal.
The book’s contents will straddle
all main recipe categories, but will
be skewed to the most popular current
trends e.g. slow cooking / baking /
eastern. This is possible due to: the ability
to identify the most used and highly rated
recipes, mainly through online stats.
Brand Chef is unique: There is no other
physical book in the market which
provides this central ground for
communicating this widely used and
appreciated content. It brings brands and
consumers together in a blatant manner.
Brands satisfy consumer’s needs and visa
versa, so why shouldn’t their innovative
methods for cooking provide a best seller?

So what is Brandipes?
Pronounced Brand+(rec)ipes, it is a
central hub for the best brand recipes in
the UK. Some may say that Brandipes is
all about cheating, but I prefer to say it’s
about sensible creativity.
It could be making an easy lasagne using
a condensed mushroom soup for white
sauce or making a spag bol tastier by
adding Marmite or it’s an innovative
concoction from a brand.
What these all have in common is that
they use the expertise of 100’s of years of
brands experience and knowledge, to
make our lives easier, cooking quicker
and tastier, yet still allowing us to feel like
creative kings of our own kitchens.
Where did the idea come from? Looking
back over my own family life and those
around me I recognised a change in
lifestyles and food consumption, and saw
a gap for something new and fresh to fulfil
our everyday needs. Long gone are the
days when many of us have the luxury of
one partner / parent being a home keeper.
This person has in many cases been
replaced by the need for everyone to get
involved so our chores can be done
quicker, easier and with no impact on the
quality of the results.
In the kitchen this means that most days
we don’t have the time (or sometimes the
energy) to cook from scratch anymore.
Occasionally I, like many others, make
more time for entertaining (and
sometimes even impressing) friends, but
on everyday evenings I crave for
something quick and easy but still with
some element of creativity or cooking.
One of the most increasingly popular and
useful tools out there have been Brand
Recipes typically found in magazines.
Many people lack the organisational
qualities and/or time needed to keep an
orderly file of any useful recipes found,
whether from magazines or the web.
These need a safe home, and and therefore
Brand Chef are compiling the first edition
of Brandipes.
The Bookazine
The following pages outline the rational,
opportunities and costs of getting involved
in this project. Becoming involved early
will also provide your brand with free
coverage within much of the Brandipes
portfolio, it will also mean first options
on all other future opportunities to
reach the Brandipes audience.
Everyone at Brand Chef looks
forward to your feedback on this
opportunity and working with
you on the project as its
media develops.
The Brand Chef Recipe book brings
together consumers favourite brand
recipes from 2013.
• 50%* of consumers use recipes within
magazines, most of which contain a
brand name.
• 7 of the UK’s top selling books since
1998 are recipe books, 5 of these are
based around easy, quick recipes or
learning to cook.
• 49%* of those who do not have time to
spend on preparing and cooking food,
claim that they like trying new recipes
– hence Brandipes will be well used and
loved even by consumers who enjoy
cooking from scratch.
• 42.8%* of the population are
interested in recipes in magazines, with
a skew towards women (55% interest).
Why consumers
will love Brandipes?
Brandipes background
TGI panel research analysis indicates a
wide appeal for Brandipes, but indicates
two main primary target audiences.
Core target audience:
ABC1 women aged 25-44 (15m
consumers) – time poor, interested in
cooking with simple shortcuts.
• 62% are interested in recipes
in magazines
• 72% like trying new recipes
• 64% get pleasure out of food
• 61% like trying new food products
• 50% state their family spends a lot
on food
• 56% look for practical information
(e.g. recipes and decoration ideas)
• They account for 33% of all cookery
book sales
• 51% look for practical information
online (e.g. recipes and decoration
ideas), they account for 43% of the
population doing this
Conclusion: The statistics indicate a high
propensity for this core audience to be
interested in the Brand Chef offering.
This core target group provides a
potential audience of 5m off line (33%
of 15m) and 7.6m online (51% of 15m).
These statistics remain strong for those
outside of the ABC1 classification.
Secondary target audience:
15-25 years olds (9m consumers) –
consumers who are learning to cook,
using shortcuts which brands provide to
increase their confidence in the kitchen.
• 52% are interested in recipes
in magazines
• 65% like trying new recipes, yet only
44% prefer cooking from scratch –
indicating a predisposition to use
pre-prepared products for shortcuts
• 57% get pleasure out of food
• 56% like trying new food products
• 48% state their family spends a lot
on food
• 41% look online for practical
information (e.g. recipes and
decoration ideas)
• They account for 9.5% of all cookery
book sales
Conclusion: The statistics indicate a high
propensity for this audience to be
interested in the Brand Chef offering.
This secondary target group provides a
potential audience of nearly 1m off line
(9.5% of 9m) and 3.7m online
(41% of 9m).
Consumer Benefits:

established (through research above)

magazine recipes, which often mislaid.

the brands

Hayfever Hayfever
For most sufferers,
symptoms are confined
to nasal symptoms such
as runny noses or
congestion, post-nasal
drip, and sneezing, as
well as inflamed and
itchy eyes, and sinusitis.
In some, though, it can
lead on to respiratory
tract symptoms such
as asthma.
Medication is perhaps the most common
method of treating allergy, though.
Antihistamines and topical steroids are safe
to use in the general population, but advice
must be sought from a health professional
when pregnant (see panel, right).
Treatment
There is a wide range of medical and non-
drug hayfever and allergy treatments
available. Different treatments affect
different people, depending on how severe
their symptoms are, so it is worth seeking
advice first.
Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, is
never much fun, especially as
the warm weather and being
outdoors will bring symptoms
to the fore.
What are the likely
culprits?
Any substance that causes an allergic
reaction is called an allergen. Grass pollen is
the most common allergen, usually
occurring from about May to July. Allergy to
tree or shrub pollen, such as catkins, tends to
be in the spring, while weed allergens, such
as from ragwort, are released at the end of
the summer and into the autumn.
Moulds and fungi allergens can also cause
seasonal allergic rhinitis, but they may be
present year round, for example in a poorly
ventilated house. Similarly, dust mite allergy
and allergy to pet dander create persistent
allergic rhinitis symptoms.
Medical therapies
• Antihistamine tablets (liquid forms
are available for children)
• Eye drops
• Nasal sprays
• Desensitisation therapy
(injections or tablets)
• Allergy testing.
Alternative remedies
• Applying petroleum jelly round the
nostrils might trap pollen as it is inhaled
• Avoid drying clothes and bedding on
the clothesline outside if the pollen
count is high
• Shower and wash hair regularly
• Keep windows closed
• Wrap-around glasses can help keep
pollen away from the eyes.
The inflammatory
response
Symptoms occur when the body’s immune
system overreacts to an allergen and makes
an antibody (IgE). The antibody releases
inflammatory mediators (chemicals) from
cells, and cause the cells to swell and to
become ‘leaky’, creating inflammation,
irritation and excess secretions.
Some mediators, such as histamine, work
quickly causing the common symptoms of
sneezing,itching, a runny nose, and itchy
and red, watery eyes. Others work more
slowly, causing a blocked or stuffy nose,
which may in turn lead to headaches and
difficulty sleeping.
Managing symptoms
The best approach is to avoid or remove the
allergens, if at all possible. Keeping windows
closed if pollen is in the air, or cleaning the
home regularly may provide some defence,
and products are available that can be
applied to the coats of family pets to
reduce dander.
Hayfever and allergy
in pregnancy
Pregnant women may have to deal
with the added impact of all that
sneezing on weakened bladders. A fifth
of pregnant women will experience
pregnancy-induced rhinitis, even if they
have no allergies.
Most manufacturers of antihistamines
advise against using antihistamines
during pregnancy and last September,
the British Society for Allergy and
Clinical Immunology (BASCI), issued
guidelines recognising that most
medications will indeed cross the
placenta, but the BSACI does gives the
go-ahead for some medicines, saying
that prescribers should consider the
benefits to the patient and the
potential risk to the foetus. Pregnant
women should always check with
their GP first.
• Antihistamines such as
chlorphenamine, loratadine and
cetirizine are likely to be safe
• Avoid decongestants
(e.g. pseudoephdrine, phenylephrine,
ephedrine, xylometazoline,
oxymetazoline)
• Cromone eye drops (sodium
cromoglicate and nedocromil
sodium) are considered the safest
drugs to recommend during the
first trimester
• Steroidal nasal sprays, such as
beclometasone, fluticasone and
budesonide , have good safety
profiles and are regularly used by
pregnant women with asthma.
Use at the lowest effective dose,
where possible.
The British National Formulary (BNF)
adds that sedating antihistamines,
if used in the third trimester, can have
an adverse affect on the newborn baby
who may show signs of irritability,
paradoxical excitability and tremor.
