A tasty, lightly spiced pumpkin soufflé inside a savoury buckwheat galette – what’s not to love! We replace the traditional cheese in a soufflé here with sun dried tomatoes and chilli to give another dimension. These might seem fiddly, but they’re easy to construct and if you can’t be bothered to make the galettes you could always use a gluten free wrap instead! Serve for dinner with a rustic salad….

Romanesco, Leek & Mushroom Crumble
Savoury crumble is a great way to combine different textures in one pot! If you can’t find romanesco you could use broccoli or cauliflower instead. The sauce here is really enhanced with mustard and lemon, bringing the whole dish to life and complimenting the nutty garlicky top to perfection!…
Stuffed Baby Squash
This recipe makes a rich meal for 2. Perfect for an Autumn weekend dinner as it takes a little bit of time (despite being very easy). Serve with pilaf and a green salad as you wish….
Stuffed courgettes
This recipe is a standard Summer staple that we couldn’t live without. We used round courgettes in our recipe, but you can use standard courgette shapes for this too. They make a lovely meal served with new potatoes and a hearty green salad. …
onion and olive tart
We have some gorgeous fresh onions from the garden as well as a whole load of fresh thyme so it’s time for an onion, olive, thyme tart. We’ve made a gluten free olive oil pastry for this one, so it’s a bit more crumbly before cooking than normal, but it does work – you may just have to press it into the tin with your fingers – don’t worry! …
Almond, Purple Sprouting & Pepper Tart
We’re using up the last of our purple sprouting broccoli from the garden in this tasty gluten and dairy free tart. The pastry is crisp and short and the whole ensemble with the addition of the fresh thyme works a treat as a dinner for 4 or a light lunch for a few more. Serve with our spinach, orange and pea shoot salad for its crunch and interesting flavour balance….
Farinata
Vegan recipe of the year!! Farinata is like a vegan omelette or frittata. Originally from Genoa in Northern Italy, it’s another strand of the French socca, but is a lot thicker, cooked in the oven and benefits from having extra ingredients added to vary the flavour and texture – add in or take out whatever you fancy. It makes an excellent main dish along with salad or you could serve it as an appetiser in smaller slices at room temperature. Remember to prepare the batter in advance as it sits for at least 2 hours before you can start cooking….
