This beautiful recipe for unyeasted paratha was shared with Henrietta Inman, Wakelyns resident cook and baker, by Lakshmi, who visited during the apple harvest. |
My wonderful friend Maisie has been coming to help me at Wakelyns over the summer, picking fruit, preserving, pickling, baking and sharing ideas. On a day of apple picking for Ian, who’s making juice with the Wakelyns apples, Lakshmi, from Pondicherry and Cuddalore in India, came along too. In the afternoon, just after the squash had been harvested too, Lakshmi shared her mother’s paratha recipe with us and we made these with a delicate fig leaf raita.
The earthy wholesome flavour of the YQ dough with the sweet squash and fragrant coriander filling is lovely. They look and taste very impressive but are simple to make and well worth it. Thank you so much Lakshmi and Maisie for spreading and sharing your cooking joy and magic with me and Wakelyns!

Baguettes to feed 185? James Taylor's Millet & Emmer Baguettes combine the sweet, nutty flavours of wholemeal flour with the airy structure of a well-fermented dough. Made with a mix of emmer flour and red millet flour, balanced by strong white wheat for structure, they deliver a flavourful, beautifully textured crust and a soft, open crumb. Naturally leavened and slow-fermented for depth of flavour, this recipe makes around 12 baguettes, perfect for feeding events or schools.
