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.

I often find fava beans a bit bitter (is it just me?!) so have previously just used them in quite heavily flavoured dishes. Not these ones though - no bitterness at all - just really tasty. I often eat them just with a bit of seasoning and drizzle of oil!
This unusual flour is something everyone should try. I use it in sourdough and yeasted bread, and it makes an unusually dense dough that is actually rather textured and nice to stretch and fold even when using at 50:50 with white. It has a very nice flavour with a long prove - and so far has never over-proved on me by going liquidy. Aside from its unusual flavour and appearance, I have achieved a good firm and edible crust that doesn't turn into nasty shards
I make fantastic tasty hummus with Carlin Peas . I cook up the whole pack, then freeze in very small batches., equivalent to a canful, and they defrost overnight. I sometimes add butter beans or flageolets and vary the flavour with all sorts,…paprika, sun-dried tomatoes, aubergine etc. Or I can add them frozen to meat or veg stews, stir fries etc. love them!!
Really like this dish, great flavour and some real substance to it!
Fantastic grain for making risotto's and stews creates a really great creamy texture during cooking without the addition of dairy (although the addition of dairy elevates everything!) They don't overcook unlike rice so its almost a foolproof alternative, the end results are a moreish bite to the cooked grain.
