| Chickpea Flour & Almond Biscuits |
Day 3: I had a few Quaker friends round for a meeting in the evening and baked a banana cake. Then I remembered one of them is coeliac. Normally I'd have bought a gluten free alternative from our local deli but was sure this would involve a plastic wrapper, so I searched the internet for biscuits made with chickpea flour and found
this one. Trying out new recipes on other people is always risky but I needn't have worried. I flavoured them with ground cardamom and rose water and sprinkled them with poppy seeds. They were delicious, reminiscent of the 'ladoos' I ate as a child in India.
Day 4: We remembered to carry empty containers when we went shopping this morning to avoid plastic bags in the butcher's and fishmonger's. I was a bit wary of asking to use them but they were both happy to oblige.
Top tips:
- Bake your own biscuits and cake. They'll probably cost less and taste better.
- Buy fish and meat from local independent traders and carry your own containers.
