About
| This twist on classic Welsh cakes uses naked barley flour, a nutritious, versatile and flavoursome alternative to wheat flour. Barley flour is subtly earthy with a delicate sweet aftertaste. |
Welsh cakes are a classic bake, also known as picau ar y maen ("cakes on the stone"), pice bach ("small cakes"), cacennau cri or teisennau gradell ("griddle cakes") in Welsh, or bakestones or griddle cakes in English.
Traditionally cooked on a cast iron bakestone (maen) suspended over the fire or cooker, Welsh cakes are a classic example of domestic baking before ovens were universal in homes.
Our wholemeal naked barley flour is stone-milled in small batches through our mill in Suffolk, from barley grown by Jeremy Dickin at Oak Farm in Lincolnshire.
Naked barleys are varieties of barley, Hordeum vulgare, that naturally shed the grain's inedible husk when harvested so that the whole grain can be milled or eaten without losing any of the flavour or nutrition.

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.
These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
