Time to prepare a fresh batch of Kimchi. It will sit in the back of my fridge developing flavour and all the fermented goodness for a healthy gut. Here’s a very quick. ‘How to’ ⬇️▫️I’ve used 4 small Chinese lettuce (approx 2kg) here, but you can always start with a smaller quantity and adjust the quantities.▫️Quarter and soak overnight in 200g of good quality salt and enough water to cover. ▫️Cover with a large plate and weigh it down.▫️Rinse.Combine all the following ingredients to coat the soaked cabbage:▫️200g Grated daikon radish/mooli▫️200g finely chopped leeks▫️200g Gochujang paste ▫️1-2 tsp salt▫️1tbs sugar▫️2 tbs fish sauce▫️1-2 bulbs of garlic crushed or grated▫️A 10cm piece of ginger (grated)I’d recommend wearing gloves to massage the above between all the leaves of the cabbage. Pack into sterilised jars. Don’t fill completely to the top or it will bubble up. Leave it out of the fridge for 24 hours. Enjoy after around 1 month. It will store in the fridge for quite a while and the flavour will become stronger as it ages. #KimchiRecipe #HealthyRecipes ... See MoreSee Less

Why train across all pieces of Pilates apparatus? We’ve been working a lot on control not momentum, and the tower can help us gain strength and control in exercises before taking them to the reformer. 🙌Using momentum to power through the exercise is not gaining strength and control, its building bad habits. The apparatus is here to work through the whole system of Pilates exercises building strength, control and mobility in the whole body. If you’ve just been practicing Pilates on the reformer you are missing so much of what the method can bring to your body. Working on our backstroke on the Tower means we can take it to the Reformer with strength and control, not momentum. #HighamsPark #TowerPilates #ReformerPilates ... See MoreSee Less
