About
| Abra Berens’ raw courgette salad with crispy chickpeas is perfect for any summer or early autumn feast, pairing well with grilled meat or seasonal vegetables. It’s one of many inspiring recipes in Abra’s brilliant book Grist: A Practical Guide to Cooking Grains, Beans, Seeds, and Legumes. |
Anyone who's grown courgettes knows that they can come thick and fast. It's essential to have a variety of recipes up your sleeve to make the most of any glut.
Courgette is delicious served raw. The mild flavour of courgette in this salad is lifted by a variety of herbs and za’atar. The chickpeas provide texture as a garnish, rather than a full serving of protein.

An old-fashioned classic, upgraded for more plant diversity, more fibre, and, dare I say it, more flavour too! Instead of using just oats in crumble bars, try our four grain muesli base. You can make the crumble bars with either a caramelly date filling or a fresh, tart berry filling.
These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
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.
