Quinoa granola bars. I don’t usually eat granola bars, I find them too sweet for my taste and I don’t like to eat food with an ingredient list that I can’t pronounce.
I do however like to make them at home where I can control what goes into them. These are full of toasted oats, quinoa, flax meal and chia seeds so they have a nice amount of protein in them. I like to toast the oats in butter before assembling them but you could substitute coconut oil instead. The butter adds a delicious nutty flavor to the bars and gives them great texture. I think of these as a sweet treat to replace an afternoon cookie or candy bar so I don’t mind the addition of the butter.

One morning at the Cookery School, one of the students was whipping cream for pudding.
She left it to whip merrily in the food mixer while she went off to put the finishing touches to the rest of her meal. Suddenly there was a sloshing sound. The cream had overwhipped and she was astonished to see what was essentially butter and whey in the bowl. She was just about to dump it when I came around the corner, and just managed to save it before it went into the hens' bucket.
