| With a moist, tender crumb and addictive salty-sweet crunchy crust, Isabella Palmer's blueberry cake is perfect plain with a cup of tea or as a pudding with runny cream. Hat-tip to Nicola Lamb for explaining in her Kitchen Projects substack how coriander seeds contain a large amount of linalool, the compound often used to synthesise blueberry flavour. So coriander seeds help blueberries taste even more of blueberry! |
Isabella likes baking this in a 20cm tin, which makes an appealingly tall cake - but does mean a long bake. If using a wider tin, reduce the oven time.

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.

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.
