These cards were formerly known as "Home Science Catering Cards" and were first produced in 1943.

They were extensively revised in 2000. Sections for breakfast, fish, chicken, soup, vegetarian, and vegetable were added, along with a Christmas baking section.

All recipes include safe handling practices, enabling their use with a Hazard Analysis Clinical Control Point Programme.
