When our food supply is threatened, or feels like it is, preserving fresh produce is a natural response. Jelena Belgrave, whose fermentation class I took part in over Zoom last week, grew up with communal preservation traditions in her native Serbia; she explores via voicenotes how the instinct to store food for herself and her family is rooted in her own history.

You can read more about Jelena and her work on her website oblutak.co.uk and find her on Instagram @potsandfoodtoshare.
