How these figures were arrived at

Every one is computed from that recipe's own weighed ingredient list against public food composition databases. The traditional column is the real dish costed the same way, not a straw man, so the saving is a measurement rather than a claim. How every number is computed sets out the method.

Each dish links to its own page, which says what changed and what the change costs you. Most of them cost something.
