A national survey* commissioned by UniformDating.com, the UK’s top dating site for uniformed singles, found that Indian curries, fish and chips and soups were universally loved by our uniformed professionals, whereas the British classics of gammon and chips and a full English breakfast were less popular with not a single vote!

Uniform Foodies provides access to 15 mouth-watering recipes, featuring a diverse mix of some of the UK’s most loved dishes developed by the two Michelin starred chef Michael Caines, MBE. From the nation’s favourites of fish and chips and curry to modern salads and hearty soups, there is something to suit every taste! 

Michael Caines said “The men and women who work in British uniformed professions give us so much on a daily basis; I felt it was important to offer something back. I have taken their favourite foods and created some healthy, homely and affordable recipes tailor made for them and the public to enjoy at work and at home”.

Uniform Foodies not only allows consumers to access Michael Caines exclusive recipes, the app also has many useful recipe features including:

• Access to user generated recipes and the ability to upload your own favourite recipes

• Step-by-step cooking guide

So if you want to cook up a storm for your other half or impress on a date, why not wow them with a tasty, easy-to-make show stopper fit for our nation’s heroes, and get some passion back in to our kitchens!

Amy Coles, Uniform Dating’s Brand Manager said “Uniform Dating understands the important work that those in Uniform do each day, serving the UK in fire stations, hospitals, abroad and on our streets. That’s why providing exciting, tasty and easy-to make recipes for them to enjoy whilst at work and at home was so important to us, because everyone deserves good food.”
