It’s January! You’ve perhaps overindulged in December and you want to rebalance your life and your gut and your diet without it feeling restrictive and depressing! I cannot recommend making your own fermented vegetables enough - it is really easy to do, a great way to use up/preserve any vegetables that are languishing in the bottom drawer of the fridge and they are so delicious!

These are easier to make than mince pies, but just as delicious! I know rolling pastry and lining tins isn’t for everyone so this is a simple alternative.

This salad elevates the much-maligned dandelion into something special and gives you a reason to go into the garden and remove all the dandelion flower heads before they go to seed. So, it’s a win-win.
