Notes about Recipes in this book

• Kamut English muffins with quick blueberry ginger jam

  • JoD on October 22, 2015

    I didn't make the English muffins but we did make the quick blueberry ginger jam and served it with meringues & whipped cream. Yum!

• Pita bread with emmer flour

  • Kitchengeek on September 10, 2017

    Needed more than the stated flour (another 30 g or so). These are good, but did not puff out like pita. This may be because the oven had to preheat for longer to really get to 500. // Tried again and left them thicker, and I preheated the oven for about 40 minutes before cooking. Still good, still did not puff out.

• Fried egg and garlicky greens biscuit sandwiches

  • Zosia on October 03, 2014

    I'm not certain what went wrong, but the biscuits barely rose and at 14 minutes in my oven were over-baked. Too thin and crisp to split apart for a sandwich (they were a cross between a cracker and a biscuit), I just served them on the side of the mound of sauteed spinach with fried egg on top. The flavour was fine - the whole wheat was very pronounced - but could have used extra salt. I did not mill my own flour, and used ingredient weights and metric volumes provided.

• Blueberry amaranth muffins

  • Zosia on October 03, 2014

    I quite liked these but not everyone appreciated the rather "seedy" aroma and flavour of the amaranth. The muffins were tender and not too sweet with the flavour of the maple syrup coming through. The spicing was a little too subtle and probably could have been doubled. I substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the arrowroot and sorghum flours. I did not mill my own flour and used the ingredient weights and metric volumes provided. These took an extra 4 minutes to bake in my oven.

• Berry cobbler with oat dumplings

  • Zosia on July 13, 2016

    Lovely way to enjoy summer berries - not too sweet and quite delicious. Precooking the fruit was an extra step that was worth the effort; once baked, the juices weren't too runny and the dumplings/biscuits didn't get soggy. I used half spelt flour when I ran out of the oat.

• Oatcakes with maple bananas

  • Kitchengeek on November 26, 2017

    Easy and delicious. This is a go-to breakfast.
