Isabella's summer salad makes the most of the season's best tomatoes, pearled spelt grain and pickled onion. |
Cultivated for at least 5,000 years, spelt is a truly ancient grain. These pearled grains have a delicious nutty flavour and are a great alternative to rice or barley in risotto, soups and casseroles.
Pearled grains have had the outer bran polished away, giving a lighter, fluffier grain, that cooks more easily than a wholegrain. This makes it an excellent replacement for white rice.

This simple sweet, sour and herby bean dish uses white coco beans to make the most of abundant seasonal courgettes in a perfect dish for summer. It's delicious served hot or cold.

Think homemade bagels are complicated? Think again! Traditionally boiled before baking for extra chewiness, these bagels are a satisfying baking project. Barley malt extract, as used in New York style bagels, adds a distinct depth; but if unavailable, you can substitute molasses or honey.

Isabella Palmer's salad of beetroot, barley and peas is a real show-stopper: textured, zippy and vibrant. The beetroot and the black barley are both full of antioxidant anthocyanins, giving them such rich colour. This salad keeps well in the fridge for batch lunches (but if you’re making ahead, add the crispy topping just before serving).
