| Baker Luisa Pringle of independent Brighton cake studio Love From Luisa brings a dedication to sustainability to her modern cake design. She uses the Kayapó's PI'Y nuts in this indulgent Brazil nut & chocolate torte. |
There's no flour in the recipe, making for a dense, fudgy texture and intense chocolate flavour. It's also ideal for anyone avoiding gluten.
Our PI'Y Brazil Nuts come to us through our direct trade partnership with the Kayapó people of the Brazilian Amazon.
Harvesting abundant wild Brazil nuts is a traditional enterprise for the Kayapó that provides fairly distributed income through the Kayapó owned co-operative COOBAY. Through the fruiting season of the Brazil nut tree from December to March families travel into the forest and camp near the wild groves of huge Brazil nut trees to gather the nuts. At the same time they're policing and protecting 9 million hectares of forest.

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.
