Hi there,

Welcome to The Life Larder! This weekly newsletter serves up a bite-sized menu of stories and ideas about making food that’s not only delicious but also healthy and sustainable.

Each issue is packed with inspiring articles, flavourful ideas, and voices from across the vibrant food world. Think of me as your friendly guide, helping you create meals that nourish your body, delight your taste buds, and care for our planet. Treat this newsletter like a personal larder—always stocked with something you’ll love.

A quick one this week to share an interview I did recently with the RHS. I loved this conversation; we talked about the gut to soil connection and why soil needs to be sexy! Watch this space as I’ll be announcing some events at RHS Wisley and Harlow Carr soon - I’d love to see you there.

And if you felt inspired by this today please send it to a friend and share the love <3
