| 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 simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give 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!
Gently tipping its hat to gyeran bap (Korean fried eggs and rice), this is a very easy but satisfying supper. The difference here is Isabella Palmer's use of wholegrain black wheat instead of rice as a full-of-fibre wholegrain, as well as cooking it from scratch in the toasty sesame sauce.
