Chickpeas, grapes, celery and nuts are not an obvious set for a salad, but that makes it all the more interesting. It's hard to say what plays the main role in this set, because there's also the dressing for it - a mix of tahini, vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup and various spices and herbs. The poppy seeds, which must be added to the sauce, also give the salad a sweet confectionery character.

Spelt is an ancient wheat variety that was once supplanted by other, more productive varieties. Today, thanks to Rene Redzepi and the Nordic cuisine in general, interest in spelt is greater than ever: this primitive coarse grain is much richer in vitamins than selected wheat grain. The salad, the recipe for which was shared with us by Ekaterina Maslova, a friend of the editors and an experienced vegan, looks colorful - it mixes baked red pumpkin cubes, chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. But it is the neutral, yet deep, chestnut-tinged taste of spelt that brings all the motley chaos on the plate to a common denominator.
