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.

These baked samosas created by Hema Mavers are filled with a colourful and protein-rich mix of blue peas, sweetcorn, carrots and warming spices, with a touch of creamed coconut for richness. Wrapped in a wholesome pastry made from wholemeal wheat and millet flours, they’re a delicious example of how traditional favourites can be reimagined with nourishing ingredients.

This delicious risotto-like dish is made with kibbled naked barley and spring veg. It makes a delicious meal in its own right or can be served alongside beans, fish or meat.

This recipe from Órfhlaith Noone is inspired by traditional Danish rugbrød - moreishly chewy, dense, and a great way to use sourdough starter. It’s straightforward to make, but it's worth reading through the instructions a couple of times to get familiar with the timings before you begin.
