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 hearty, comforting, flavour-packed dish showcases the nutty richness of pearled naked barley, a wholesome and nutritious alternative to rice. Naturally high in fibre and full of slow-release energy, barley gives this dish a satisfying bite and depth that pairs beautifully with earthy mushrooms and fragrant thyme.
This Hearty Twisted Spelt Bread from Greens & Grains by Anne-Katrin Weber is a beautifully simple yet impressive loaf that celebrates the rich, nutty flavour of spelt. Combining spelt flour with pearled spelt adds texture and heartiness. This slow-fermented bread develops incredible depth of flavour and a wonderfully crisp crust. With its rustic twisted shape and chewy crumb, it’s perfect for tearing and sharing, serving alongside soups and stews, or enjoying simply with butter and salt.
A simple, deeply nourishing ramen that combines the rich, savoury flavour of Hodmedod’s Fava Bean Umami Paste with the nutrient-packed crunch of SUCSEED.
