Midweek Vegetarian Meals

Hello friends!

Will I see you in my home kitchen on November 16?

I’m holding a veggie-powered Zoom cookery class, to help us eat more plants and less meat.

Tickets on sale now! (To secure your place, you can click this link).

For €36, you’ll get two cookery demos with a focus on troubleshooting in the second session held on Nov 23; an interactive Q&A; a snazzy PDF of my favourite midweek vegetarian meals to get practicing; and guest appearances from random unscheduled children or pets.

Hope to see you there! Come and join me!

Love and peas,

Susan Jane

Zoom Cookery Class, Oct 16th

Hello crew!

As promised, you have first dibs on the extra cookery class I scheduled on “Healthy Kids.” The last one sold out in 4 hours, before adding an extra 10 places. So here it is!

Tickets *officially* go on sale tomorrow, but you have access to purchase tickets today.

Hope to see you there, and to welcome you into my home.

Love and peas,

Susan Jane

Fermentation Station

Given the continuation of social distancing, cabbage may be the closest thing we’ll get to a massage this season. So let’s get funky!

Lacto-fermented foods such as the sauerkraut pictured above will help feed the good bacteria in our mini metropolis. At any one time, our gut contains 1kg-2kg of bacteria. This is our microbiota – an inner dynasty where the good guys are constantly trying to crowd out the nasty challengers.

If you’re suffering from chronic constipation, bloating or industrial gas, your gut ain’t happy. And neither are you. The great news is that you can do something about it. Fermentation Station is here to help.

We’re going to start pimping our pipes with fermented foods like those listed below to help restore the little ecosystem inside our gut. Listed below are 4 easy ferments for beginners (and great reminders for the seasoned fermentalist!) The recipes will be available for a limited time free of charge over on Independent.ie (but indefinitely if you’re already a subscriber, with access to my back catalogue of Sunday columns horrah!)

(1) Basic sauerkraut

(2) Turmeric-spiked kraut

(3) Fermented fennel

(4) Beginner’s kimchi

(5) Pineapple & ginger kraut (I’ll be making this live on TV this Friday, Virgin Media: Six O’Clock Show)
