Grains and pulses, nuts and seeds: recipes from breads and tortillas to pancakes and pies.
Christine McFadden presents an absorbing guide to the why and what of flours, covering a range of alternatives to wheat that include pea, quinoa and fava bean flours.
In this timely new book Christine McFadden explores the way in which flour has been a staple part of our diet, and provides a comprehensive look at the alternatives to traditional wheat flour.
With an increasing and at times bewildering choice of flours online and in shops, this book follows a usable A–Z format, providing a CV of sorts for each flour (including plant source, gluten/protein content, flavour profile and how best to use). Each of the flours featured is accompanied by suggested recipes from Christine’s kitchen, and these recipes demonstrate the often underestimated ways in which flour is used. We're particularly thrilled to have been able to help Christine as she researched the book and developed recipes for pulse and quinoa flours.
Flours range from cassava and quinoa to cricket and coffee flour, with delicious recipes such as cheddar and chilli cornbread (using amaranth flour), salted chocolate tart with buckwheat and walnut pastry, spicy onion pancakes (using moong dal) and spring lamb pot pies (with tradition plain wheat flour).
Recipes are accompanied by beautiful photography from Mike Cooper to bring the dishes to life.

Wakelyns Agroforestry: Resilience through Diversity
Free
Pioneering Suffolk research farm Wakelyns was established in 1994 by our friend and mentor the late professor Martin Wolfe to test and develop agroforesty approaches that integrate annual crops (like lentils and cereals) with trees and other perennial plants.
Martin aimed to increase diversity in fields and between fields, an approach that increases overall yields and ensures the farm is better able to cope with climatic variability, pest and disease pressures and is less dependent on inputs, like fertiliser, from outside the farm.
The farm has four agroforestry silvo-arable systems; hazel coppice, willow coppice, a fruit and nut tree system and a mixed hardwood and fruit tree system. The trees are planted in rows or as production hedges running north/south with organic crops grown in rotation within the 10-12m wide alleys.
Published by the Organic Research Centre and Woodland Trust, this booklet offers a fascinating and inspiring insight into the development, practice and legacy of Wakelyns.
