| Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread gives it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please! |
Though often thought of as an ancient Irish tradition, soda bread only dates backs to the 1850s, when industrial production of bicarbonate of soda provided an alternative to yeast for leavened bread.
Soda bread became especially popular in Ireland, where the climate results in wheat with generally low gluten levels, more challenging for yeasted or sourdough baking. Using bicarbonate of soda as an alternative raising agent creates the quick, rustic loaves we know today.

A deeply comforting Persian-inspired aubergine stew made with naked fava beans instead of yellow split peas, and preserved lemon in place of black lime. Rich tomato, silky aubergine, warm spices, and sharp salty citrus combine to create a rustic, homestyle dish.
Vibrant and comforting Palestinian Rummaniyeh combines olive green lentils and charred aubergine with the deep tang of pomegranate molasses and the silkiness of tahini. A perfect vegan main served with flatbread.
A uniquely nutty and tender-crumbed vanilla cake featuring Hodmedod's wrinkled pea flour and toasted camelina seeds. Perfect for teatime or served with fruit and crème fraîche.
