| This twist on traditional crêpes is made with yellow pea and fava bean flour, making it a great source of plant-based protein and gluten-free too. Created by the talented nutritionist, cook, grower and food presenter Sam Hamrebtan. |
Sam launched her food and nutrition business, The Loess Life, in the knowledge that not everyone is a natural cook with hours to kill in the kitchen. Instead, her approach is fiercely simplistic, focused on helping individuals create tasty, effortless food that is also good for you and the world. The wonderful recipes Sam has written for us reflect these values wonderfully.
Sam explains some of the nutritional benefits of her recipe:
"Coriander seeds are rich in antioxidants and have been traditionally used for their digestive properties, whilst mustard seeds contain essential minerals like magnesium and selenium.
"By incorporating chives or wet garlic into the recipe, we add a burst of freshness along with a range of nutrients. Chives are a good source of vitamins A and K, while wet garlic offers immune-boosting properties."
Makes 12 crêpes

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.
