About
| This chana masala is another of chef James Taylor's school meals. James works in two London primary schools, improving their school meals to provide nutritious, delicious and environmentally sustainable meals for the children. We started working with James in 2023 to help him get pulses on the menu in his school. Read our blog post on the achievements and challenges of introducing young people to pulses they're not familiar with. |
This is a recipe James developed from cooking different variations with family, colleagues, and friends, eating the dish numerous times in restaurants and his own personal research. James tried to combine the best parts of all the versions he tasted and watched being cooked over the years.
This is not a traditional method but is a quick way to make this dish for a busy school lunchtime.

This simple sweet, sour and herby bean dish uses white coco beans to make the most of abundant seasonal courgettes in a perfect dish for summer. It's delicious served hot or cold.
Think homemade bagels are complicated? Think again! Traditionally boiled before baking for extra chewiness, these bagels are a satisfying baking project. Barley malt extract, as used in New York style bagels, adds a distinct depth; but if unavailable, you can substitute molasses or honey.
Isabella Palmer's salad of beetroot, barley and peas is a real show-stopper: textured, zippy and vibrant. The beetroot and the black barley are both full of antioxidant anthocyanins, giving them such rich colour. This salad keeps well in the fridge for batch lunches (but if you’re making ahead, add the crispy topping just before serving).
