| This delicious recipe is from Jenny Chandler's fantastic new Green Kids Cook, a cookbook that teaches the cooks of the future how to eat well, look after themselves and think about the planet. It's a great way to cook our British-grown lentils in a typical Syrian style. |
Lentils are amazing little seeds that grow inside a pod. They’re packed with the protein, nutrients and fibre that we need to survive, while the plants themselves are great at keeping the soil they grow in healthy, too. Good for us, good for the planet!
It’s worth cooking up a batch of the slow-fried onions on their own, to go alongside roasted veggies, into sandwiches, to top pizzas, and to stir into soups and dals.

This recipe from Anna Warden makes for a cookie that is crunchy on the outside, and chewy in the middle - to our mind the best combination. The malted wheat flour and coffee create a gorgeous depth of flavour and a moreish caramelly base which pairs perfectly with dark chocolate and sea salt. These cookies will keep in the freezer (unbaked) for a couple of weeks, and so are the perfect thing to have to hand for times you want a cookie or for when you might just need a cookie.

As the nights cool and the leaves turn, so wild mushrooms emerge from the mossy forest floor. Leanne Townsend found a beautiful patch of winter chanterelles and cooked them up with some British-grown carlin peas.

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.
