Whole Wheat and Spelt Bagels
Whole wheat and spelt flour give these bagels a nutty flavor and a firm, chewy crumb. An autolyse helps the whole-grain flours absorb water before the dough is kneaded.
Homemade Paneer with Whey Whole-Wheat Rotis
Fresh paneer is mild, springy, and made with just milk and lemon juice. The whey does not go down the sink: part of it replaces the liquid in cumin-spiked whole-wheat rotis, giving the dough a gentle tang.
Yeasted Whole Wheat Lavash
Thin whole wheat flatbreads with a supple chew, scattered brown spots, and a faintly nutty crust. A short yeast rise makes the dough easier to roll without turning the lavash into a puffy pita.
Simple Fermented Cabbage with Carrot and Garlic
This is the kind of old-school kitchen trick that turns a cheap cabbage into something sharp, crunchy, and oddly satisfying a few days later. Salt does the work, time does the magic, and modern packaged “gut health” marketing can take the evening off. The carrot softens the bite, the garlic adds depth, and the result is a bright, tangy ferment that wakes up grain bowls, soups, or a fried egg if life gets messy.
Chocolate-Yacon Almond Butter
A simple homemade almond butter blended until silky, then nudged into deeper territory with a little cocoa powder and yacon syrup at the end. It is rich, roasty, and far more interesting than another sad swipe of plain spread pretending to be a personality. Nutritionally, almonds bring healthy unsaturated fats, fiber, and plant protein, while the cocoa powder adds a darker edge and extra polyphenols. Using nuts as the star keeps the recipe plant-forward and aligned with an Eat-Lancet style way of eating: satisfying, practical, and lighter on the planet than dairy-heavy spreads.
Whole Wheat & Whole Spelt Sourdough Bread
A hearty sourdough loaf made with whole wheat flour and whole spelt flour, with a crackly crust, a mildly tangy crumb, and enough character to make supermarket bread seem like a bureaucratic error. It leans into whole grains for fiber and steadier energy, while sourdough fermentation helps with flavor and digestibility. Very Eat-Lancet, very practical, and deeply satisfying if you enjoy your kitchen smelling like competence.
