| For anyone looking for more local alternatives to much loved imported ingredients, Victoria Cowan's pulse-based guacamole replaces avocados with British-grown marrowfat peas. It's super delicious, nutritious and good for the planet. |
Peas are high in protein and contain all 9 essential amino acids, have a low glycemic index and high soluble fibre content, are full of heart-friendly minerals (magnesium, potassium and calcium) and rich in antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C.
Not only that, they’re a very important crop for agriculture too. Like other legumes they fix nitrogen, solubilise phosphates, promote soil carbon sequestration, increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure and maintain soil biodiversity.
Victoria has served her guac on a soda bread made from camelina seeds and Vanessa Kimbell’s wholemeal diversity blend flour, along with spring onion and radish for freshness and texture.

This comforting barley risotto - or "orzotto" - comes from Greens & Grains by Anne-Katrin Weber, a beautiful celebration of plant-forward cooking that highlights the flavour and versatility of whole grains. In this recipe, nutty pearl barley replaces traditional rice to create a risotto that’s hearty, wholesome, and full of texture. Sweet, slow-roasted cherry tomatoes add depth and richness, perfectly balanced by the creamy tang of Gorgonzola and a touch of lemon. It’s a dish that feels indulgent yet nourishing.
Sometimes, only a sweet breakfast will do. Whether it’s for comfort after a sleepless night, or as an indulgence on a lazy weekend, this spiced, sweet and crunchy breakfast torte is perfect. Yes, it has a bit of added sugar, but it’s also packed full with 11 plant varieties and approximately 6 grams of fibre in each slice. Try it with some yoghurt and stewed seasonal fruit.
A vibrant, balanced salad featuring nutty Carlin Peas, crisp apples, and crunchy walnuts, all tossed in a creamy, sharp blitzed butternut squash dressing.
