372. Learn about the delights of foraging and fermenting with Rachel de Thample

Join a foraging adventure on the Dorset coast with Rachel de Thample, searching for wild ingredients for her inspiring and health-giving fermenting recipes. From kombucha to kimchi, and sauerkraut to sloe olives, Rachel provides a wonderful insight into culinary delights that are simple to prepare and utterly delicious.
But what's more, they help rewild our microbiome, helping our immune and digestive systems and can prevent serious illness. Plodcast host Fergus Collins joined Rachel on a clifftop quest.
