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.

Swap blood for beans with Eden's vegetarian riff on black pudding. With pearled naked barley for a bit of chewiness, this hearty and spicy dish is best enjoyed with wholemeal soda bread.

The firm yet giving nature of roasted squash means it’s able to absorb any flavour you throw at it, in this case a curry paste featuring pineapple and turmeric sauerkraut and coconut chips, resulting in a sweet, spicy dry curry. Nick matches that with a braise of carlin peas.
