Little spiced carrot and apple cakes
These beautifully spiced cakes are made with olive oil for a moist batter, and can be garnished with apple chips for a burst of sweetness and extra spice.
Kabuli palaw (rice with carrots and sultanas)
This beautiful and balanced rice is Afghanistan’s national dish. Pieces of lamb or chicken are usually buried beneath the rice, with the stock from the meat used to flavour it.
Carrot and miso puree with parsley paste
A secret hint of miso gives this carrot puree a delicious malty flavour. Yes, it is a lot of butter, but we don’t think that’s necessarily a problem.
Fermented carrots
Giving a child, or yourself, a fermented carrot stick to snack on is so many levels up on a regular carrot in flavour, and of course in nutritional value. This is fast slow food ready to grab and eat at any time.
Carrot tzimmes
Carrot tzimmes are a traditional Jewish eastern European dish made with carrots, prunes and sweet potatoes. It is traditionally eaten at the Jewish New Year but you can enjoy it any time.
Carrot jam (murrabā-ye havij)
Carrots make an excellent jam and with the addition of lemon, cardamom and rosewater this is perfect for spooning over pancakes and toast or in pies and tarts.
Charred carrots with tahini and furikake
Carrots are criminally underrated, subjected to overcooking or supplied as an unimaginative crunch in a salad. Pre-cooking in aromatics adds more flavour and exploits their natural sweetness.
Easy carrot cake with cream cheese icing
Wholemeal flour and other wholesome ingredients set this carrot cake recipe apart from others - while still delivering the classic carrot-cake appeal: moist, aromatic, sweet.
Heirloom carrots with a rosemary balsamic demi glace
A great way to serve these carrots is with Desiree Nielsen's aromatic sage-fried tofu. It's a creation that's simple enough for a midweek meal, and fancy enough for a vegan dinner party.
Special orange juice
Consider this your morning wake-up call, a bright and tangy concoction that will have you bouncing out the door.
Goan quinoa with star anise carrots
