Special Diets

All sites in this category should contain recipes. Recipe sites in this category, and especially the subcategories, will usually be intended to help with a specific health condition.

The site should indicate in the title or the text what that focus is, e.g. low salt, gluten-free, heart healthy, and so forth. Sites that focus on ethnic cuisines should go in the appropriate ethnic category in World Cuisines. Sites that focus on vegan or vegetarian diets should go in those respective categories.

Sites that explain a medical condition and mention food preparation only in passing are better placed in Health.
