There’s no need to join the Quality Standard Recipe Club to join in. Every visitor to this site can take advantage of many of the benefits.

We have hundreds of Quality Standard beef and lamb recipes for you to choose from, all tried and tested by our specialist Food Advisory Team. View them all, or narrow your search by selecting beef or lamb. Alternatively choose the cut you wish to cook and include a time criteria if you have limited time available.

Once you have selected your recipe/s, you will see on each recipe page that you can choose to print it, or email it to a friend.

This is a fantastic way to make sure that you never forget a vital ingredient. Just select the 'shopping list panel' on the recipe page and your electronic shopping list will be generated automatically. You can de-select any ingredients you already have in your kitchen or add any other items you need like fruit, vegetables, dairy or groceries and so create your own complete shopping list. You can print, email or text your list to your mobile phone or someone else’s so they can do the shopping for you!

We'll be featuring seasonal and special interest recipes to keep those cooking ideas fresh and up-to-date. Click to share these special features.

Now you can send ingredient and shopping lists to mobile phones and email or print your recipes and ingredient lists to one or more email recipients.

Each recipe page has the facility for you to give it a star rating – and your opinion is important to us. So please let us know. As the ratings flow in, we’ll tally them up to give an over all ‘popularity’ rating to each.

To join the club you will need to register. We only take enough information from you to enable you to log-in at a future time. Without this you will not be able to save your cookbooks and shopping lists. It is a very simple and fast process, all we need is a name, password and email address. Your details are confidential and will never be passed on to any third party. Thereafter – you simply log-in with your email and password to access full functionality of the site.

Choose your recipe and click ‘Save to My Cookbook’ and you are beginning to create your own ‘space’. There’s no limit to the number of recipes you can save or how long you wish to keep them saved.

Go to ‘My Cookbook’ and select your cookbook from the 'Cookbooks' drop down menu. Then choose which recipe/s you want to cook again.

You can add your own notes against any recipe; or go back and add special notes to any recipe whenever you wish.

By joining the Recipe Club you can now save your lists and recall them by clicking on the drop down menu in ‘My Cookbook’.

And there’s more to your own special cookbook. Click on ‘My Recipe Journal’ and you can save and revisit your own records. For each occasion you cook for family and friends you now have the facility to record details which may be helpful in the future. It’s up to you what you wish to add, but here are some suggestions:

Recipes selected

Menus

Guest lists

Guests’ likes and dislikes or allergies

Accompaniments served

Wines or drinks

In this way, you can keep your own ‘diary’ of each occasion you host. It’s completely private to you to so that you can remember all those little details. Make a note of which themes you’ve used for children’s parties, what you supplied in party bags, what games you played and which Quality Standard kids’ recipes were a big hit. Ring the changes at your barbecues by keeping a note of which salads, dips, sauces and sizzling beef and lamb dishes you served. Then add your own private ‘host or hostess’ notes so that you’ll recall which combination of guests worked well, what you would change next time – even what you wore!
