Julie's Apple Shred Buddha Bowl

Camelina Dried Peas Hemp Lunch Peas Quick & Easy Quinoa Rapeseed Oil Split Peas Summer Whole Hemp Seed

by Julie Bailey September 27, 2023

Apple shreds make an excellent addition to a salad or Buddha bowl, their vibrant colour and sweet taste balancing well with savoury elements.

Julie, of Apple Natural, made this a beautiful bowl for our visit on a very hot summer's day. We combined elements from our gardens with Julie's apple shreds and locally sourced vegetables.

This sort of recipe shouldn't be followed exactly. Instead it's best to make the most of any local, seasonal and available ingredients.

Julie makes Apple Natural apple shreds by hand at low temperature to retain the natural flavour, goodness and fibre. All the apples come from Julie's fruit trees and other local Tamar valley orchards.

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.

Antalyan Style Piyaz of Flageolet Beans

November 07, 2025

Piyaz is a traditional Turkish bean salad, but in Antalya it takes on a unique and beloved twist. More than just a simple side, it becomes a hearty, flavourful dish in its own right, rich with tahini, olive oil and cumin, layered with herbs, eggs and tomatoes. Creamy flageolet beans form the base, while the tang of lemon and vinegar keeps it bright and refreshing. Finished with fragrant dill, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac, this is a salad that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant, perfect served alongside grilled dishes or enjoyed simply with good bread.
