Sarah and Aitana of The Little Cooking Pot love to recreate dishes they’ve tasted abroad, using as much British produce as possible.

This tofu, based on the Burmese variety typically made from chickpea flour, is very quick and easy to make from store cupboard ingredients. It can be adapted to use other pulse flours as Victoria has done here with green pea flour.
Have you ever tried cooking with kimchi? Though it’s delicious raw, kimchi adds a wonderfully rich and sour flavour to soup and broths. It also makes the most moorish pancakes. Try them as light lunch with some steamed tahini dressed greens on the side, or as part of a larger Korean themed feast.
Flaky and savoury, these wholemeal scones are lovely just as they come, warm from the oven, but also delicious with a little butter and cheese.
