| This warming combination is made for eating from a mug or bowl, stood around a campfire or snuggled under a blanket on the sofa. The polenta is smooth, rich and moreish whilst the crispy carlin peas and kale contrast in texture and give it some whizz with a sweet, salty tang. |
It doesn’t take long to make and you can easily whip up a large batch for friends and family gatherings. Beth made enough peas for 4 but ended up eating them all herself…

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.

This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
