Welcome to the Footcare Clinic’s Cooking and Eating blog.
Of course, our diverse community offers many delicious cuisines and cooking-styles. One of the things we like to do with clients when they come to us at the Footcare Clinic, is ask them about their favourite foods, what restaurants they go to, what recipes from grandma do they know? It is truly marvellous that we can share our culture, our heritage and our history with one another through what we cook and eat.
Brown Soda Loaf
A client from Ireland shared this recipe with us. Food definitely helps when you’re feeling a little home sick and are missing food from your home town. He followed this recipe from this link and reported that it turned out really good. Hope you enjoy it!
What you need:
350g/12 oz Odlums Coarse Wholemeal Flour (Irish Flour)
25g/1 oz Odlums Wheat Germ
Pinch of Salt
1 teaspoon Odlums Bread Soda, sieved
1 tablespoon Sunflower Oil
300ml/½pt Milk
125g carton Natural or Hazelnut Yoghurt
1 tablespoon Treacle
How to:
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Grease a 900g/2lb loaf tin.
Put wholemeal flour, wheat germ, salt and sieved bread soda into a mixing bowl and mix well together.
Add the oil, milk, yoghurt and treacle, stir until well blended. Mixture will be quite wet.
Transfer to the prepared tin and bake for 45-60 minutes. Bread is baked when it has a hollow sound when tapped underneath.
Wrap in a clean tea towel and allow to cool. Bread cuts better if left until the next day.
Enjoy!
