Tahini flapjacks
Tahini is an excellent binding agent instead of sticky sugar-filled syrup and also adds a nice nutty flavour to these flapjacks, which should go down a storm. Great energy food to keep you going!…
Porridge
Porridge is an art in Scotland – there’s even a golden spurtle award for the best porridge making (a spurtle is the special tool used to stir the dish in the pot).

Our version doesn’t include salt or sugar or milk in its manufacture… pure and simple! Add whatever you like as a topping – we definitely think it needs your input to make it more interesting and tasty. Our measurements serve one….

The soufflé filling can be eaten without the base. Cook in a small oven proof dish and serve as a soufflé – easy!…
