| As well as devising cake and biscuit recipes for the EDP Norfolk Magazine, Carol Kearns - who does the beautiful illustrations for our packaging - has developed this fabulous every-day loaf recipe using Hodmedod’s British grown and milled Fava Bean Flour. |
"I’ve been making this loaf the same way for years now – indeed it’s one of the few recipes I can make from heart, I’ve baked it that often. However, I’ve recently started experimenting with fava bean flour as a flour improver and have been surprised by the difference it makes: the finished loaf has a much lighter texture (something much prized in a wholemeal loaf) and the crust has an divinely nutty taste.
I started by replacing just 5% of the wholemeal flour but now substitute a full 20% of the flour in the recipe with the fava bean flour."
This recipe uses fast action dried yeast so is easy to make and only requires one proving. It tastes delicious, adds substance to a sandwich or a salad, is a great accompaniment to a bowl of soup and is absolutely fantastic toasted. It keeps well too and can be frozen for up to a month.

Jens Hannibal, plant-focused chef and educator with over 15 years of experience, has shared this sumptuous recipe with us, a glimpse of the approach to cooking you can learn in Jens's new online course Cook with Confidence.
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.
