About
| Soda bread is a great option for anyone new to making bread at home - there's no yeast, no need for kneading and no rising time. |
Rather than relying on yeast fermentation, soda bread is raised through a chemical reaction between the bicarbonate of soda and acid in the dough and the acid, producing carbon dioxide gas bubbles when heated in the oven and causing the bread to rise. Traditionally Irish soda bread uses buttermilk as the acid, but you can also use yoghurt, kafir or lemon juice as in this recipe.

An enriched, festive loaf inspired by the Tuscan pan co’ santi. This deeply flavourful bread is studded with walnuts and raisins, scented with rosemary and fennel, and features the nutty depth of wholemeal emmer flour.
Middle Eastern ijeh - or eggah - is a herby, vegetable-packed fritter, similar to an omelette or frittata. Soft, fragrant and deeply nourishing, it’s a recipe that celebrates simple ingredients elevated with plenty of fresh herbs and warming spices. Cooked slowly until golden on both sides, it’s perfect served warm with a squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of tangy yoghurt.
A comforting, spiced pilaf made with chewy emmer grain and a mix of golden-browned wild mushrooms.
