Kitchen Table Chats #30 – Cooking During Busy Times/with Babies, ‘Natural’ Sugars, Pig Butchery & Coming Off Instagram

ByAlison

These are the show notes for a podcast episode recorded especially for patrons of my main show (Ancestral Kitchen Podcast). These patrons pay a monthly subscription to be part of the podcast community and in return receive monthly exclusive recordings (like this private podcast) along with lots of extra resources. You can get access to the recording and see how the community works by visiting www.patreon.com/ancestralkitchenpodcast.

Thanks for your support! Today we cover the three questions below plus talk about coming off Instagram.

Kelsey’s question:

During busy seasons, pregnancy sickness, newborns, moving properties, busy work schedule, etc, what tips do you have for still cooking ancestral food?

Megan’s question:

It’s possible this has been covered somewhere and I’ve not seen it yet, but I’d love to hear a breakdown about types of “natural sugars”. For example rapadura versus sucanat .. are these the same thing or two different things? When you search online you can find conflicting info. I’m interested in this in general, but especially through the lenses of making water kefir.

Nick’s question:

Any tips/tricks/hacks for pig butchering time, especially more than one at a time? I’ve relistened to the original episode with Naomi a couple times now to glean information from the Slovak butchering tradition (which is also the episode that got me hooked to the podcast!) and know little bits from how my family used to do it but would be interested in any advice!

#70 – Fermenting Oats

ByAlison

Oats are one of my ultimate comfort foods. Golden, creamy, filling, tasty – what is there not to love? It’s been that way for me for a long time. Long before I realised that huge swathes of my English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish ancestors subsisted on oats, sometimes eating them three times a day for many generations.

ByAlison

Rebecca Holden looks after a large organic dairy herd in Wales in the United Kingdom and makes raw, cheddar-style cheese from their milk. What made us want to bring Rebecca to you is an article she wrote for the farm’s blog which she called ‘Part of the Herd’ where she talks about the farm being an interconnected community and how she herself communicates with the cows and has become part of the herd.
