For years, whilst gigging by night, we’ve been supporting science by day. At the British Gut Project/Twin Research, King’s College London, UK, we’ve been so shocked and excited by what we’ve found, we just have to share our new “gut health” obsession with you all.

got christmas leftovers and no clue what to do with them? we’ve gut you. 🎄

two easy open-sandwich options:
1. turkey + sauerkraut + fermented cranberry sauce on sourdough
2. brie + fermented cranberry sauce + walnuts & seeds on sourdough

DIY fermented cranberry sauce:
gently prick 300g cranberries → add to a 500ml jar with 2cm sliced ginger, juice of 1 orange + 1 cinnamon stick → cover with 600g raw honey and stir → lid on, leave at room temp (out of sunlight) 2–4 weeks (it’s delish anytime).
