| Here’s an extra incentive to feed your sourdough starter: waffles! Orfhlaith Noone keeps the daily discard in a jar in the fridge and once she has enough she makes a batch of waffles for a weekend breakfast treat. |
These waffles are great with traditional sweet toppings like maple syrup and berries, but they also work well with a savoury breakfast spread. If you're going savoury, reduce the sugar to 1 tsp - but don’t leave it out entirely. The sugar gives the dormant starter a little boost.
The batter will keep well in the fridge for a few days, so you don’t need to cook them all at once. Cooked waffles also freeze well, just pop them in the toaster to reheat.
If you don’t have a waffle iron the batter makes excellent pancakes too.
Makes approximately 10 waffles, depending on your waffle iron.

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.
