| This simple salad combines creamy flageolet beans - slow cooked in a Wonderbag - with the best of summer’s tomatoes to create the perfect, hearty side dish for a barbecue or dinner party. Alternatively, add some feta or fried halloumi and a slice of crusty bread for a delicious main. |
We’ve used a Wonderbag to make this recipe. A Wonderbag is a non-electric, insulated slow cooker that uses heat-retention technology to continue cooking food after it's been brought to a boil. Once your pot of food is boiling, you place it in the Wonderbag, seal it up, and let the insulation do the rest — no additional energy required. It works much like a slow cooker, but without electricity.
The Wonderbag is especially good for cooking beans, which benefit from long, slow cooking to become tender. With the Wonderbag, you save fuel, time and energy. It’s also a gentle method that helps keep beans intact, avoiding the rolling boil that can split or damage their skins
Serves 4 as a side or 2 as a main

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.
