In this simple stew Isabella Palmer creates a delicious and sustaining meal from simple ingredients. Nutritious and nutty black barley grains are paired with sweet butternut squash and served with a bitter salad to balance the rich stew.

Isabella Palmer's buttery shortbread is made a little special with fragrant cardamom. Millet flour plays the role of more usual rice flour or cornflour for that melt-in-the-mouth texture - only with a nuttier flavour.

A diverse blend of grains, seeds and nuts bring varied textures to this festive granola. Cranberries and traditional winter spices add Christmas flavours. Jarred up, this granola makes a wonderful gift for friends and family.

These spiced jammy bars, topped with a crumble of oat and black barley flakes, are perfect for packed lunches, afternoon treats or served warm with ice cream as a delicious dessert.
