| Chef James Taylor is on a mission to get pulses into school meals, using Hodmedod's beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas all this term as part of special Pulses Days in primary schools. Here's his recipe for baked "beans" made with pink and yellow peas from British farms instead of the usual navy beans (mostly from the US and Canada). |
Pulses are unfamiliar to many children so James recommends introducing new ingredients in otherwise familiar and popular dishes. Baked beans are a great example of this and by making them from scratch James makes this British favourite healthier and tastier.
In schools where budgets are tight and nutrition is of the utmost importance, pulses are a logical option. We'll share more of James' school dinner recipes over the coming weeks.
Serves around 150 children and 20 adults (fills 2 Gastronorm trays, 530 x 325 X 100mm)

Jens Hannibal, plant-focused chef and educator with over 15 years of experience, has shared this sumptuous recipe with us, a glimpse of the approach to cooking you can learn in Jens's new online course Cook with Confidence.
This recipe from Anna Warden makes for a cookie that is crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle - to our mind the best combination. The malted wheat flour and coffee create a gorgeous depth of flavour and a moreish caramelly base which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and sea salt. These cookies will keep in the freezer (unbaked) for a couple of weeks, and so are the perfect thing to have to hand for times you want a cookie or for when you might just need a cookie.
As the nights cool and the leaves turn, so wild mushrooms emerge from the mossy forest floor. Leanne Townsend found a beautiful patch of winter chanterelles and cooked them up with some British-grown carlin peas.
