Enjoy our Orange & Chia Jam Jar, a delightful twist on traditional jam, infusing the zesty freshness of oranges with the nutritional powerhouse of chia seeds. With a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, this jam is enhanced by the natural pectin in oranges that complements the gelatinous texture of soaked chia seeds. This healthy alternative uses the inherent sweetness of oranges to achieve its pleasant taste. Chia seeds add a unique texture and are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber, making this jam not only a treat for the taste buds but also a boon for your health. Orange & Chia Jam Jar is versatile, serving as an excellent spread on toast, a delightful topping for yogurts and oatmeal, or even a sweetener for teas.

3 tbsp Chia Seeds

Method

Wash and scrub clean the oranges.
Using a grater, zest one orange into the bowl.
Carefully peel all 5 (including the zested one) oranges with a knife. Blend zest, oranges and maple syrup until smooth and even consistency.
Transfer the blended mixture into a micro-safe bowl and simmer for 10 minutes at 100% micropower level. Keep on stirring every 2 minutes until beginning to thicken.
Stir in chia seeds and let sit for 15 minutes until it has a jelly-like consistency.
Marmalade will continue to thicken as it cools. When completely cool, transfer to a glass container with airtight lid and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Eggs in Clouds

Eggs in Clouds present an enchanting twist on the classic way to enjoy eggs. Eggs are carefully separated, with the whites beaten to a soft, cloud-like consistency, and then gently folded with a mixture of cheddar cheese, spring onions, and finely chopped steamed chicken sausages. These form the perfect ‘clouds’ on which the yolks are nestled before the dish is finished in the oven. The yolks cook just until they're perfectly warm and slightly runny, with a sprinkle of pepper to add the right touch of spice. Brings a touch of whimsy to breakfast, brunch, or any meal with this simple recipe that promises a bite that's light as air but rich in taste and satisfaction.

Macarons

Originating in Italy and brought to France in the 16th century by Catherine de' Medici, Macarons have evolved from simple almond cookies to the iconic, ganache-filled meringue treats we know today. Their popularity soared in the early 20th century, thanks to Parisian patisseries that elevated them to their current status as a symbol of haute patisserie. With a luscious filling sandwiched between almond flour shells, macarons are celebrated for their vibrant colours and eclectic flavours. From classic vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry to innovative creations like matcha, salted caramel, and lavender, macarons offer a palate-pleasing adventure that is as delightful as it is diverse.

Assorted Toast

The smell of fresh toast is akin to a warm embrace, filling the kitchen with a comforting, homely aroma. Transcend the simple act of browning bread and create a canvas for delicious, nutritious toppings. Start the day with the refreshing tang of soya yogurt topped with sweet blueberries and tart pomegranate seeds. For a savory twist, layer your toast with creamy hummus and slices of avocado, then sprinkle sunflower and black sesame seeds for extra crunch. Elevate peanut butter with slices of dragon fruit, walnuts, and a dash of cinnamon. Yogurt paired with orange segments and black raisins, finished with flax seeds, is a refreshing, fiber-rich option. And for your sweet tooth, cream cheese and Nutella, topped with strawberries and sprinkles, turns any slice of toast into a decadent treat.

Super Seed Cracker

Crafted from a blend of amaranth flour and a trio of super seeds—chia, flax, and sesame—Super Seed Crackers are a boon to the body and a perfect snack for those who value health without compromising on taste. Amaranth flour, known for its rich protein content and amino acids, forms the base of these crackers, providing a gluten-free alternative that's both digestible and energising. The super seeds contribute a wealth of omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and antioxidants, making each bite a step towards improved heart health and well-being. Olive oil gives the crackers a subtle richness and crisp texture, while eggs bind the mixture together for the perfect crunch. A touch of salt enhances the natural flavours of the ingredients, and a sprinkle of coarse salt on top adds texture and a burst of flavour with each bite.
