An introduction to the Sourdough School Botanical Blends.
Expert sourdough baker and teacher Vanessa Kimbell outlines the use, storage and purpose of her botanical blends. The blends are the culmination of years of research into the workings of the gut microbiome and they reflect the diversity we need to see in fields and in our diets. The blends bring fragrance and flavour to sweet and savoury baking.
An ideal accompaniment to Botanical Blend #2: Meadow or a taster for Vanessa's wonderful new book The Sourdough School: Sweet Baking.

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.
