Flour

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.

These baked samosas created by Hema Mavers are filled with a colourful and protein-rich mix of blue peas, sweetcorn, carrots and warming spices, with a touch of creamed coconut for richness. Wrapped in a wholesome pastry made from wholemeal wheat and millet flours, they’re a delicious example of how traditional favourites can be reimagined with nourishing ingredients.

Isabella Palmer's buttery shortbread is made a little special with fragrant cardamom. Millet flour plays the role of more usual rice flour or cornflour for that melt-in-the-mouth texture - only with a nuttier flavour.
