| These indulgent muffins are perfect for the festive season. They've been created by Carol Kearns of The Art of Baking in a development of her wholesome but delicious Naked Barley Breakfast Muffin recipe, a transformation she describes along with a fashion tip for the Hodmedod team. |
Remember those magazine articles that described how you could seamlessly move from day-time office wear to evening glamour with just the addition of a pair of sparkling earrings and a brighter shade of lipstick? [Needless to say Nick, Josiah, William and the rest of the Hodmedod team will be taking this fashion tip on board.]
Well, this is the baking equivalent - taking the delicious Naked Barley Breakfast Muffin recipe and turning it into something altogether more decadent with addition of a little alcohol. These Amaretto & Prune Muffins are perhaps not for breakfast but they're perfect at any other time of the day – and with all the superb flavour, texture and nutrition of naked barley flakes.

This beginner-friendly sourdough bread is a great sandwich bread, inspired by the Danish panini-style rye bread used at Joe & The Juice and the rågkusar rye sandwich thins popular in Sweden and Finland. Slice it horizontally and fill generously with your favourite sandwich filling.

Piyaz is a traditional Turkish bean salad, but in Antalya it takes on a unique and beloved twist. More than just a simple side, it becomes a hearty, flavourful dish in its own right, rich with tahini, olive oil and cumin, layered with herbs, eggs and tomatoes. Creamy flageolet beans form the base, while the tang of lemon and vinegar keeps it bright and refreshing. Finished with fragrant dill, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac, this is a salad that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant, perfect served alongside grilled dishes or enjoyed simply with good bread.

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.
