| 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.

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.
Danka Jandric's salad of lentils and spelt with caramelised vegetables, feta, blanched asparagus, pumpkin seeds and a lemon-vinegar vinaigrette is hearty and filling but also refreshing and zingy!
This vibrant take on the classic South Asian kitchari brings together split peas and pearled spelt for a protein and fibre-rich base, paired with seasonal vegetables and deeply aromatic spices.
