A giant cookbook
A Giant Pip & Nut Cookbook
We had a lot of fun coming up with our most recent window display at Whole Foods Market (High St Kensington). We wanted the window to celebrate our recent cookbook, which to us is really about two key ideas: getting creative in the kitchen and the versatility of nut butter in cooking. We worked with design agency Neue to come up with the concept of the giant cookbook. The ‘flying’ pages highlight some of our favourite recipes, such as the Coco-nutty Banana Pancakes and Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate. We wanted this window to show people that there are so many more ways to use nut butter than just spreading it on toast (although sometimes you really can’t beat a good slice!).

Pancake recipe
Coco-nutty Banana Pancakes

Strawberry toast recipe
Marinated Strawberries & Almond Butter Sourdough
This is one of our absolute favourites from our new cookbook and is on the menu at our pop-up Toast Bar in the Selfridges Foodhall. The savoury edge from the almond butter, sweet honey, salty sourdough and tart lemon makes this a real crowd-pleaser. Plus saying that you marinated your strawberries makes it sound rather fancy, so you’ll get lots of praise from friends if you’re generous enough make it for them. It’s a win-win situation.
