| This wonderfully fruity loaf from Jenni Sherington makes superb use of our Buckwheat and Yellow Pea Flours. |
When we first met Jenni Sherington at the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival, she was offering samples of her healthy versions of popular confectionery - they really were delicious.
We were very excited to see what Jenni was doing, turning the idea of a healthy snack on its head and creating indulgent treats packed full of nutritious, wholesome ingredients. At the time we'd just had our first batch of pea, bean and quinoa flours milled and were busy working out what could be done with them (lots as it turns out, they're incredibly versatile). We could see that Jenni was bound to have lots of good ideas so we gave her some of our flour to experiment with.
We weren't disappointed. Jenni came up with some fantastic recipes - all with vegan options.
When Jenni sent over the recipe it came with some serving suggestions from the Sherington household - here's what Jenni says they like: "my dad - smothered with equal parts butter to loaf, my mum - with decadent salted caramel spread, mmm! Me - with a healthy berry chia jam for added nutrition!"
They all sound great to us!

Hello, What size loaf tin eg 1lb or 2lb? Thank you.
Hi Jane
Like flax, chia seeds form a gloopy “mucilage” when they’re ground and mixed with water, that firms up when heated and so acts as a good vegan egg replacement. You can read more about it at http://www.veganbaking.net/recipes/egg-replacers/chia-seed-binder
Enjoy the loaf – it’s a great recipe.
Best wishes, Nick
Hello, can you tell me more about Chai seeds? What is it that makes them behave like eggs?
Jane.

This pie recipe from Isabella Palmer is a great one for feeding a crowd on cold nights: flavoured with leek, parsnip, sage, white wine, encased in a buttery spelt shortcrust.
Look no further than this umami-rich, plant-packed vegetable ragu full of diverse fibre and other nutrients to nourish you and your gut. Inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi's ultimate tray-bake ragu, this recipe contains even more plants. Hodmedod’s Broth Mix is the perfect base, containing no fewer than 7 different pulses and grains, and adding beautiful texture. The recipe packs in 12 different plants, not counting the herbs or spices, which add another half dozen. Serve with a side salad and you'll be well over 20 plants in a single meal.
This deliciously moist apple and walnut cake from Sarah Cotterell and Aitana Infante is made with sourdough but nonetheless simple and easy to make.
