I haven’t felt like posting much recently - the platform to be perfectly honest depresses me with endless echo chambers of doom and gloom …HOWEVER

Today I visited Gail and her adorable lab Ziggy with my best friend Swan .field to collect my new weekly veg bag from this less than 7 months old no dig allotment with help from the fabulous Worthy Earth 💕in garsington literally 10 minutes outside Oxford.

With a handwritten thank you, a recipe and news about what has happened on the field this week oh and topped with beautiful fresh flowers and this super smart bag I have started my weekly veg bag.

Please get in touch with Gail if you would like to subscribe and get involved in supporting growers all year round! No supermarket sub standard just seasonal healthy deliciousness.

Sonic you are coming in a class this weekend expect taste the BEST quality ingredients and start asking questions! We want to share this with you all!

Do you keep hearing about gut health but still wonder what it actually means — and, more importantly, what should I be eating?

Probiotics, prebiotics, fibre, fermentation, the microbiome… it can all start to feel rather complicated.

But perhaps it doesn’t need to be.

This autumn, nutritionist and food writer Joy Skipper joins us at The Jericho Kitchen for Flavour, Fermentation & Gut Health — a new series of seasonal, hands-on cookery classes designed to make sense of gut health through something we all understand: good food.

Think colourful vegetables, beans and pulses, nuts and seeds, whole grains and fermented foods — turned into genuinely delicious dishes you’ll actually want to cook again.

No complicated rules. No cupboard full of supplements. Just a better understanding of your gut, why diversity matters, and simple ways to bring more gut-friendly foods into everyday cooking.

🍂 Beginning with Autumn, followed by Winter & Spring.

Curious about gut health? Come and discover what it really means — one delicious plate at a time.

We walk into a supermarket and expect strawberries in winter, asparagus whenever we fancy it and tomatoes every week of the year.

But perhaps we need to start asking ourselves a few more questions.

Where has our food come from? How far has it travelled? What happens when extreme heat, drought, conflict or disrupted supply routes mean the food we’ve become accustomed to simply isn’t available?

And perhaps most importantly — what could we change ourselves?

Could we occasionally leave the out-of-season ingredient on the shelf and cook with what’s growing around us instead?

At The Jericho Kitchen, we’re increasingly trying to do exactly that — supporting local growers and producers and allowing the seasons to influence what we cook.

I’ve written a new piece for The Journal about food security, why I think it’s something we should all be talking about and why even very small changes in the way we shop can matter.

And I’d genuinely love to know what you think. ❤️

What a special Sunday. ❤️

This weekend we had the joy of hosting a private class with the wonderful Ursula Ferrigno . With just a small group around the table, it felt less like a class and more like old friends cooking together. By the end of the day there was so much laughter, so many stories, and a shared love of Italy that it genuinely felt as though we’d known each other for years.

It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Food has an extraordinary way of bringing people together.

This beautiful photograph was taken by one of the guests on the day... and don’t you think it captures Ursula perfectly? Joyful, generous, passionate and completely in her element. ❤️🇮🇹

If you’ve ever thought about gathering your favourite people together, we’d love to create a private cookery experience just for you. Whether it’s a celebration, a family get-together, a birthday or simply an excuse to spend time around the table, we’d be delighted to help make it happen.

With love Em & the team x

About Last Week... ☀️

Seven events in seven days.

Our busiest week ever.

One of the hottest weeks of the year!

To every single person who booked a class, cooked with us, laughed around our kitchen tables and became part of The Jericho Kitchen this week... thank you. We never take your support for granted, and it was a joy to welcome every one of you.

And to my incredible team... thank you from the bottom of my heart. You worked in a very, very hot kitchen, carried trays, washed what felt like thousands of pans, reset the room time and time again, and somehow still greeted every guest with a smile (well... almost always! 😉).

The truth is, none of this happens because of one person. It happens because of a wonderful team who care deeply about creating something special for every guest who walks through our doors.

Thank you all. ❤️
