| This salad is an excellent addition to any summery meal. The earthy flavours of smoked quinoa and chickpeas, go wonderfully with the fresh spicy pesto. Adapt the greens to what’s in season and locally available. Finished with creamy tahini and oat yoghurt and crunchy nuts and seeds. |
This lovely recipe comes from Hermione, of Grow, Gather and Feast, who lives in the Scottish Borders with her husband and three small children. She writes a weekly newsletter from her Scottish garden with seasonal, plant-based recipes to inspire what to cook and grow throughout the year.
Hermione and her family moved to the Scottish Borders three years ago because they fell in love with the garden. She can usually be found outside with her little ones in tow, sowing seeds, weeding and watering the garden.

Wheat bran is a wonderful ingredient if you’re looking to increase your fibre consumption as it contains over 40g of fibre in 100g of bran. It works beautifully in cakes, especially in combination with wet ingredients like sweet potato and apple, because it absorbs a lot of water, making the final bake just the right level of moist. The mouthfeel of this tea loaf is not dissimilar to corn bread.

These wholesome oatcakes with festive redcurrant relish make a wonderfully simple yet elegant addition to any Christmas table. Combining the nutty richness of oats, puffed quinoa and wholemeal flour, they’re crisp at the edges and soft within, the perfect base for a jewel-bright relish of redcurrants, berries, apple, and orange. Sweet, tangy, and lightly spiced, this colourful topping brings a burst of seasonal flavour that pairs beautifully with the earthy oatcakes. Delicious served with Greek yoghurt and honey, they make a festive breakfast, afternoon treat, or a cheerful nibble for holiday gatherings.
