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 excellent 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.

Best price on beyond best before beans! We have found two pallets of our delicious baked beans in our warehouse with a best before date of July 2023. Given a conservative 3 year shelf life from production (guidelines for canned beans suggest giving them up to 5 years shelf life), these beans should be good to eat for years to come. Our assessment of them is that they are still as good as the day they were produced. Snap them up today for more than 50% off the usual retail price. |
Think baked beans are British? They are now! We use only British-grown fava beans - Britain's original bean, grown here since the Iron Age. Our Baked British Beans are deliciously different, with large meaty fava beans in a tasty tomato sauce.

Split Wrinkled Peas - 50% OFF
Hodmedod's British Pulses & Grains
Sorry, not available right now

These wonderfully wrinkly peas have a distinctively sweet and grassy flavour. Their especially high levels of resistant starch provide excellent nourishment for our gut flora. Now available at 50% off the usual price for all pack sizes. |
Wrinkled peas are mostly grown for freezing but if not harvested in time they go to waste. Not these ones!
Tasty, versatile and easy to cook, split wrinkled peas don’t need to be soaked and add a sweet, grassy flavour to dips, soups, stews and salads. They make excellent dal too.
We're still experimenting with ways of cooking these peas ourselves but they can be substituted in recipes for other whole peas, especially whole yellow or blue peas. We look forward to hearing how you've cooked them!
Grown at Great Glemham Farms in Suffolk's Alde Valley.
