About
| This salad of smoked quinoa, carlin peas and tomatoes comes to us from the Age Well Project. The smoky flavours from the quinoa are complimented by smoked paprika, cumin and the sweet acidity of roasted tomatoes. |
Grown by Peter Fairs in the fields of Essex, nutty and light wholegrain quinoa is traditionally smoked over oak and beech by Rob Morton in his Norfolk smokehouse to produced our smoked quinoa. It's easy to cook and perfect for salads, as a side dish, in soups or as an alternative to rice or cous cous.
The Age Well Project is an excellent blog (and books too) about the science of longevity, distilling published research to make it accessible in our everyday lives. The project highlights the important role of whole grains and pulses in a nutritious diet and the website features many excellent recipes that can be used with our pulses and grains.

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.
A vibrant, balanced salad featuring nutty Carlin Peas, crisp apples, and crunchy walnuts, all tossed in a creamy, sharp blitzed butternut squash dressing.
