This warm and comforting recipe makes the perfect autumn dessert or afternoon treat. Made with our wholemeal red millet flour for a complex nutty flavour. |
Living in the West Country, once autumn comes everything in the kitchen is about apples! Amy made this cake as a delicious dessert after a long day of apple pressing. Every year she takes all the apples from her garden (and a few hedgerows) and has them pressed at a nearby orchard. She has some of the juice bottles and pasteurized for drinking throughout the year and some is kept for making apple cider vinegar. But one basket of apples is always kept back from making desserts, cakes and crumbles.
If you don't have an apple tree in your garden, keep an eye out on country walks for apples in the hedgerows or sometimes people leave boxes outside their houses if they have too many.
Be sure to serve this one with a warm glass of apple juice or cider.

Gently tipping its hat to gyeran bap (Korean fried eggs and rice), this is a very easy but satisfying supper. The difference here is Isabella Palmer's use of wholegrain black wheat instead of rice as a full-of-fibre wholegrain, as well as cooking it from scratch in the toasty sesame sauce.

This cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.
