#2 Honey and Stinging Nettle Cake Recipe (Gluten-free)

Stinging nettles are often used in savory dishes, much like spinach, but in France, nettle desserts are traditional in some regions. When I realized that stinging nettles cakes were an item, this opened a world of possibilities and I made a honey stinging nettle cake for my swimming club. It was a hit and I went foraging more stinging nettles to repeat it the following week.

#3 Icelandic Barley Buttermilk Bread Recipe

Made with barley, an ancient grain gaining popularity for its health benefits, this bread is dead easy to make once you have all the ingredients.

#5 Chocolate Sea Salt Sables Recipe

This recipe is one of my favorite chocolate cookie recipes ever and as you can see, everybody loves it! It’s both sweet and salty, very buttery and chocolatey, as well as completely addictive. It’s also a great recipe for a day outdoor with kids, as it can be packed easily for a picnic.

#6 Pancake Mix Recipe (Gluten-free) for Camping

Making pancakes from scratch is super easy and we made this DIY pancake mix recipe for camping in Scotland. My youngest daughter is an absolute pancake nut and when we planned three days of meals to backpack the Affric Kintail Way, she insisted that we have pancakes for breakfast.

#7 Elderflower Pine Nut Recipe (Gluten-free)

Back from a coastal hike last Sunday, I saved a bunch of blossoms to create this elderflower pinenut cake recipe. It’s gluten-free too, with a pleasant crunch on the outside and a texture that calls for a spoonful of blackcurrant jam at tea time or breakfast.

#8 Kid-Friendly Guacamole Recipe

This chunky guacamole packs a bunch in ripe avocados, tasty tomatoes and green goodness. It is so good that we just eat it on its own or as a side dip but it would be great for a sunny day out, with the customary tortilla chips.

#9 Wild Garlic Pizza Recipe (Ransoms)

Wild garlic, also known as ransoms, is a wonderful herb that you can forage in the spring and I picked a bunch during a picnic near London. Armed with a tote bag, I picked a lot and when I got home, I washed half of it to dry it in my new dehydrator and half of it to eat fresh. The inspiration for this wild garlic pizza came from our Meatless Monday tradition.
