Nature Happy

Food

What we eat, drink, and keep in the pantry.

Ingredients we reach for more than once, recipes we go back to, and the people who grow and make what ends up on the table.

Pantry

A sourdough starter, kept alive for three years.

It's been fed twice a day, travelled between three kitchens, and survived one very close call in a fridge that got unplugged for a weekend. It's called Beryl. This is what we've learned from keeping her alive.

Recipes

Things we cook more than once.

Drinks

What we're drinking this month.

A short, changing list. Nothing here is a permanent product line — just what's in the fridge and cupboard right now.

Ginger kombucha

Brewed in small batches by a producer two towns over. Sharp, not sweet.

Loose rooibos

Unblended, from a single farm in the Cederberg. No flavouring needed.

Cold-brew, no sugar

Steeped for eighteen hours. We've stopped needing anything in it.

A short list of what's good this week.

One email, roughly weekly, with what we're eating, buying, and cooking.
