Órfhlaith Noone's delicious sourdough rye bread is a highly nutritious loaf with a dense, satisfying texture and earthy, malty flavour. |
If you're at all intimidated by the prospect of sourdough baking, rye bread is the perfect place to start. Thanks to its naturally high enzyme activity, rye creates a robust and resilient starter. This loaf uses a generous amount of starter, resulting in a dense yet nicely chewy texture.
This rye bread makes a fantastic foundation for all sorts of meals - think beans on toast, eggs on toast, or peanut butter and jam - making simple bites feel more substantial and nourishing. I like to bake it in a loaf tin for uniform slices, which feels much more practical for everyday use.

This cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.

Lentils can sometimes blend into the background of a dish but these organic black lentils from France deserve to be the star of the show. This simple dish showcases their texture, colour and flavour.
