| These scones from Henrietta Inman, Wakelyns resident cook and baker, really hit the spot and score highly for delicious diversity. |
There are still lots of squash in storage from their winter harvest. Do try them in these scones for another way to cook with them.
Using a sourdough starter instead of bicarbonate of soda might sound like a faff but it really isn’t. The small extra effort and time is worth it, and it’s important to make this time to cook for ourselves. It oomphs up all the flavours, makes all the goodness of the grains and pulses more bioavailable and the scones more easily digestible, as opposed to the fast-reacting soda, so you could probably eat an extra one and still feel very happy!
Try adding a good cheddar or other strong-flavoured cheese for cheese scones.
Thank you beautiful Kim at Small Food Bakery for your help with the recipe.

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.
