It's been one of those lazy long weekends. I spent most of my time in the kitchen and on the beach, it was a run of those crystal clear beautiful autumn days that just deserved a bit of sweetness.

Barley flour is nutty and nutritious and a perfect substitute for crepes. When you add sparkling mineral water and make the dough very runny the crepes are soft and light.

Ever thought what to do with the expired milk in your fridge You can make beautiful ricotta cheese by just boiling it down, allowing it to curdle and then straining it in a clean cloth for a couple of hours. It tastes just like the bought one from the shop.

Two cups Barley flour

1 cup cake flour
