sugardetoxme WHAT!?! This looks delicious. Do you top on a salad?
-
JenniferEmilson Just use it as any other vinegar. It has a faint onion flavour, so better for savoury applications ☺️ @sugardetoxme

Use less than stellar berries & fruit to make a shrub! This sweetened vinegar will make great drinks! Cherries, allspice & peppercorns.
-
NehaNBB I had to google what shrub was, and I'm so glad I did. Is shrub like switchel? Is switchel a type of shrub? But I love this berry combination with black peppercorns.
-
JenniferEmilson I had to look up switchel! @NehaNBB Not exactly. This is purely a flavoured and sweetened vinegar. It can be made with so many different fruits and spices. Then it is boiled with sugar. At this...

"Salicornia, or sea asparagus, can be used in all sorts of ways and adds a salty and colourful touch"
-
sugardetoxme I had these for the first time a couple years back and really enjoy them. Super salty!
-
Nelson I like their crunch
-
JenniferEmilson I soak them in cold water before I use them. It helps the natural saltiness 😉 @sugardetoxme
Spring is here, Summer's around the corner. Grill your pizza's outside! Give your oven a break 😉 #FoodRevolution

DietID_TeamDietitians @akhilg2002 we should give this a try
-
akhilg2002 You know I'm in for that!

JenniferEmilson It's so much fun @Rachna The most challenging part is getting the bbq temp correct. Now that we've done it a few times, I would say: start grill at 400 degrees. Roll out the dough to about 10". Use...

gingerandchorizo After I learned how to cook Shakshouka in the cooking class, I really fell in love with it, I even cooked it for my in-laws the other week ;) your one looks epic! @JenniferEmilson
Fennel broth may be my new fav thing on the planet! Here wheat berries are simmered in it like a risotto. Topped it with roasted fennel.
