Give carlin peas the petits pois treatment: braising with butter, onion, white wine, lettuce and mint. The hearty nuttiness of the carlin peas makes for a more substantial dish than traditional fresh green peas. Serve with boiled Jersey Royals or other new potatoes to soak up the buttery sauce.
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.

A perfect tart to celebrate summer. Warm, sunny days are the best time to pick elderflowers as the flowers' scent will be as its best. Gently shake away any insects but don’t be tempted to wash them, as you’ll the pollen and aroma.
This show-stopping cake is wonderfully simple to make. It’s also very forgiving, making it a great bake for playing around with different wholegrain flours. Sarah and Aitana use a 50:50 mix of stoneground white flour and a wholegrain flour such as rye, barley or emmer. Add whichever dried fruit or nuts or seeds you fancy, just keep their weight roughly the same.

Eden Owen-Jones riffs on Argentinian alfajores, using YQ wheat flour and black pepper to add a toasty flavour to these super sweet crumbly biscuits. Sandwiching homemade dolce de leche they're best enjoyed with a cup of coffee to balance the sweetness.
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. The fermented naked barley lends a salty, umami note; the diverse wholemeal blend flour gives a full nutty flavour; the green chives add appealing onion-y green flecks.
