As the weather cools our minds have turned towards the humble bowl of porridge. So we want to share with you some of our favourite porridge recipes. But first, I thought we'd take a brief stroll through the vast and varied history of what is, at its heart, a humble bowl of cooked, starchy grains. Put simply, porridge is grains - often crushed or split - boiled with water or milk, and topped with various flavourings.

Porridge has been around for thousands of years, and traditional variations span every continent.


Porridge, in all of its incarnations, shares one thing: it's always greater than the sum of its parts. To call porridge just a bowl of oats it's like saying cheese is just a load of milk, or wine is just a glass of grapes.

There are many reasons to love shortbread, both the making and eating: 
  • The formula is almost unwavering: 1 part sugar, 2 parts butter, 4 parts flour. 
  • It takes little time and effort.
  • That buttery crumb! That taste and texture! It's unbeatable.
  • It keeps beautifully for a couple of weeks in a sealed container.
  • It's the perfect last minute gift or treat.
  • It's easy to make different variations like chocolate or citrus, and this week's recipe calls for lavender flowers.

Shortbread is generally made with regular flour. Today, we're using kamut. The result is a rich, deep flavour that I think you'll love as much as we do. 

You'll notice I include a bit of rice flour in the recipe. This helps give the shortbread light texture and perfect crumb. If you don't have rice flour on hand, just add an extra 50g kamut.
