So what is Brandipes? Pronounced Brand+(rec)ipes, it is acentral hub for the best brand recipes inthe UK. Some may say that Brandipes isall about cheating, but I prefer to say it’sabout sensible creativity.It could be making an easy lasagne usinga condensed mushroom soup for whitesauce or making a spag bol tastier byadding Marmite or it’s an innovativeconcoction from a brand.

What these all have in common is thatthey use the expertise of 100’s of years ofbrands experience and knowledge, tomake our lives easier, cooking quickerand tastier, yet still allowing us to feel likecreative kings of our own kitchens.Where did the idea come from? Lookingback over my own family life and thosearound me I recognised a change inlifestyles and food consumption, and sawa gap for something new and fresh to fulfilour everyday needs. Long gone are thedays when many of us have the luxury ofone partner / parent being a home keeper.This person has in many cases beenreplaced by the need for everyone to getinvolved so our chores can be done

quicker, easier and with no impact on thequality of the results. In the kitchen this means that most dayswe don’t have the time (or sometimes theenergy) to cook from scratch anymore.Occasionally I, like many others, makemore time for entertaining (andsometimes even impressing) friends, buton everyday evenings I crave forsomething quick and easy but still withsome element of creativity or cooking.One of the most increasingly popular anduseful tools out there have been BrandRecipes typically found in magazines.Many people lack the organisationalqualities and/or time needed to keep anorderly file of any useful recipes found,whether from magazines or the web.These need a safe home, and and thereforeBrand Chef are compiling the first edition of Brandipes.

The BookazineThe following pages outline the rational,opportunities and costs of getting involvedin this project. Becoming involved early will also provide your brand with free coverage within much of the Brandipesportfolio, 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 thisopportunity and working with you on the project as its media develops.

Hayfever Hayfever

For most sufferers,symptoms are confinedto nasal symptoms such

as runny noses orcongestion, post-nasaldrip, and sneezing, aswell as inflamed and

itchy eyes, and sinusitis.In some, though, it canlead on to respiratorytract symptoms such

as asthma.

Medication is perhaps the most commonmethod of treating allergy, though.Antihistamines and topical steroids are safeto use in the general population, but advicemust be sought from a health professionalwhen pregnant (see panel, right).

TreatmentThere is a wide range of medical and non-drug hayfever and allergy treatmentsavailable. Different treatments affectdifferent people, depending on how severetheir symptoms are, so it is worth seekingadvice first.

Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, isnever much fun, especially asthe warm weather and beingoutdoors will bring symptoms to the fore.

What are the likelyculprits?Any substance that causes an allergicreaction is called an allergen. Grass pollen isthe most common allergen, usuallyoccurring from about May to July. Allergy totree or shrub pollen, such as catkins, tends tobe in the spring, while weed allergens, suchas from ragwort, are released at the end ofthe summer and into the autumn.

Moulds and fungi allergens can also causeseasonal allergic rhinitis, but they may bepresent year round, for example in a poorlyventilated house. Similarly, dust mite allergyand allergy to pet dander create persistentallergic 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 inflammatoryresponseSymptoms occur when the body’s immunesystem overreacts to an allergen and makesan antibody (IgE). The antibody releasesinflammatory mediators (chemicals) fromcells, and cause the cells to swell and tobecome ‘leaky’, creating inflammation,irritation and excess secretions.

Some mediators, such as histamine, workquickly causing the common symptoms ofsneezing,itching, a runny nose, and itchyand red, watery eyes. Others work moreslowly, causing a blocked or stuffy nose,which may in turn lead to headaches anddifficulty sleeping.

Managing symptomsThe best approach is to avoid or remove theallergens, if at all possible. Keeping windowsclosed if pollen is in the air, or cleaning thehome regularly may provide some defence,and products are available that can beapplied to the coats of family pets to reduce dander.

Hayfever and allergyin pregnancyPregnant women may have to dealwith the added impact of all thatsneezing on weakened bladders. A fifthof pregnant women will experiencepregnancy-induced rhinitis, even if theyhave no allergies.

Most manufacturers of antihistaminesadvise against using antihistaminesduring pregnancy and last September,the British Society for Allergy andClinical Immunology (BASCI), issuedguidelines recognising that mostmedications will indeed cross theplacenta, but the BSACI does gives thego-ahead for some medicines, sayingthat prescribers should consider thebenefits to the patient and thepotential risk to the foetus. Pregnantwomen should always check with their GP first.

• Antihistamines such aschlorphenamine, loratadine andcetirizine are likely to be safe

• Avoid decongestants (e.g. pseudoephdrine, phenylephrine,ephedrine, xylometazoline,oxymetazoline)

• Cromone eye drops (sodiumcromoglicate and nedocromilsodium) are considered the safestdrugs to recommend during the first trimester

• Steroidal nasal sprays, such asbeclometasone, fluticasone andbudesonide , have good safetyprofiles and are regularly used bypregnant 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 havean adverse affect on the newborn babywho may show signs of irritability,paradoxical excitability and tremor.
