This week I’m sharing with you my article for Warkitchen on fertility. Looking at the key nutrients both men and women need to keep hormones healthy, I delve into why we are lacking these in our food more than ever, and how this has dramatically reduced our fertility rates. Spoiler alert - the answer is in our soil. Take a look below for the link - and send me a message to let me know your thoughts - I’d love to hear from you.

As always if there’s someone who you think would enjoy this issue of The Life Larder please send it to a friend and share the love <3

Baked Sticky Grapes

Summer is calling and these will become a staple for you, I gurantee.

This isn’t really a recipe, more an idea that you can use as a topping or accompaniment to other dishes. I serve these grapes over yoghurt with sourdough, on top of crostinis with whipped ricotta or on the side of a dessert that calls for something sweet and sticky. Hot or cold these grapes are something special.
