My favorite dish from this supper club
~ pine nut parfait, amazake sorbet, whole-wheat shortbread crumble, local strawbs, jammy strawberry juice and foraged fennel ~

What's amazake?
You're probably familiar with soy sauce and miso. The workhorse behind these ferments is something called koji. Koji, or Aspergillus oryzae, is a fungus.
This particular batch, I grew aspergillus on basmati rice. once blooming with the beautifully scented fungus in a mycelium mat, it is mixed with cooked rice and water and fermented overnight to create a floral, umami and naturally sweet yoghurt like liquid.
And that's that! Very very simply put!

~ Grilled Celeriac, cashew based labneh, three cornered leek powder, fermented wild mustard seeds, rapeseed dukkah, homegrown mustard

~ Forced rhubarb, pistachio and cardamom frangipane and cream tart

~ 82% soloman island chocolate egg filled with chocolate mousse, blood orange gel

Lots of beautiful veg from & my faithful local greengrocer 🌱

🥬 The best feeling 🥬 Fermentation & Kimchi workshop coming up on Friday 14th March & Wednesday 24th April at @the_southsea_deli #southsea #plantbased #portsmouth #fermentation #workshop #kimchi

🌿 I've been sitting on this for a while... 🌿 Naturally, being in a city, many of us have lost connection with the earth and our understanding of plants. I believe we should all have access to foraging and the knowledge that comes with it. I want to make foraging more inclusive and invite people from all backgrounds to reconnect with nature. To keep the walks accessible, I offer two pricing options: a regular rate and a subsidized rate for those facing financial hardship. 📍Location: Milton/Eastney area ⏱️Duration: Approximately 1 hour 🌾Focus: Identifying edible and medicinal plants, with an emphasis on education so you can go on your own foraging adventures later. 👣Route: Uneven ground, so please be mindful of your mobility when booking 🎟️Price: Adult Forager/12.50 Low-income Forager/5.50 Under 16/4.00 Under 3's free My aim is to foster a caring community by sharing in the abundance of nature. So if there is someone you know who would enjoy getting involved, please pass on the message! #portsmouth #southsea #seasonal #forage #plantidentification #community #portsmouthcommunity #southseacommunity #earth #nature #foraging #edibleplants

Repost from @the_southsea_deli reel from our previous Spring Feast 🌱 Spring may be a while away, but in these long winter months, we need a reminder that warmer, more abundant times are ahead! Here's something to celebrate the awakening of nature. I can't wait for the spring blooms and asparagus shoots ! I hope you can join me for a special evening 💞 #supperclub #plantbased #southsea #southseavegan #whatsonportsmouth #supperclubuk #seasonal
