Easy Mellow Yellow rapeseed oil recipes

6 easy cold pressed rapeseed oil recipes

March 3, 2026

From crisping, roasting, and stir‑frying to whisking into bright dressings and tender bakes, Eli’s dishes show how Mellow Yellow quietly elevates everyday cooking with gentle nuttiness and golden warmth.

Beetroot & Chocolate Cake

Moist, rich, and naturally vibrant – this family favourite cake recipe dates back to post-war Britain, when beetroot was used to deepen the chocolate colour. Eli’s version is more indulgent with the addition of chocolate chips and Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil for a soft, velvety texture.

Eli bakes it regularly when we host farm visits at Farrington Oils and her daughters still request it every time they visit!
