As with all households Libby and I have found ourselves with cupboards overflowing with well intentioned surplus ingredients. In particular we have loads of dried pulses, spices, grains and all manner of other random things we’ve bought over the years.

I’ve had to try and get this working a few times now, and every time it’s a major faff as it’s not officially supported yet, for some reason.
