What do you do with a nice harvest of Rhubarb? Well we usually preserve the harvest into Rhubarb Ginger jam. We planted our Rhubarb last year and had a small harvest last year. This year we definitely have a lot more than last year. I decided to make it into jam which is a hot favorite of my husband.
In this post you will learn to make an easy red currant jam recipe. With the Garden blooming and giving fruits, it was time to harvest some of the fruits and berries. After strawberry had peaked between May and June. It was now time for Red currant harvest in June. I wanted to give a trial to making Red Currant jam this year.
There has been a lot going on in our garden. This post will feature most of our June garden vegetables for this year. After the summer storms which our garden escaped without too much damage it has come to a normal period of growth.
I like to experiment with recipes especially vegan. A great Vegan lunch idea is Chinese vegan stir fry wok noodles to serve your guests on a short notice and make it look exotic as if you were a chef. It has been one of my favorite and fool proof recipes for some time. Its a great Vegan lunch complete with fresh green salad.
Planting season follows the beginning of spring. My husband has been gardening since the end of winter planning and preparing for the whole planting season. I could shoot the Garden tour video between April and May during the Planting Season. I got round to writing the blog and uploading this long overdue video.
If you are new to baking and looking for healthy and easy recipes, then this homemade stone ground spelt bread recipe is the one for you. I have tested and tweaked this recipe for many years and this recipe will be easy to adjust the proportion of spelt to suit your taste.
While enjoying a wonderful warm spring afternoon, we decided to take a walk and go foraging in the near by woods with my 8 year old daughter and her friend. Spring in the mid of April would be the right time to pick Wild Garlic for a Pesto Recipe. It grows in abundance and is native to Europe. We picked a few bags and I made a pesto at night after preparing the leaves.
I have been working really hard to learn a whole new skill of uploading videos on my Vital Fair Living You Tube channel.
Rather than letting all my knowledge go to a waste. I got this idea of filming videos of my cooking and our gardening experiences.
The videos will also give an insight into modern Swiss country living.
Above all it will also give my little daughter something to learn and remember me by.
All my videos will be uploaded into this channel.

I had so many ideas of how to make an introduction video. Finally while going for a walk on a sunny spring day, I just took my new video camera with me. My daughter and her friend wanted to cycle into the woods on this warm spring afternoon. They were very enthusiastic to forage for wild garlic. So it was nice to engage them in foraging for wild garlic. I wanted to make Wild garlic pesto like every year. It was fun despite all my technical hiccups. It was an awkward first to make the video as I was not very knowledgeable with this camera, recording or editing. But I had to start somewhere and I have been learning ever since.
We picked the wild garlic too. And I made a wild garlic pesto. My first video with some recipe and content. Looking back I would record the video and edit it differently.
I worked hours and hours to get to this point.
I hope to build up an audience to share my knowledge with.
