After I said in a previous post that I wouldn’t recommend anything again and then went on to recommend a few things I am going to do it again. I was chatting to a friend and they asked for some “media” recommendations I said that I would put them in a email but then I thought I would put them in a blog post. 

Recommendation are hard because you don’t want to recommend something then somebody spent there time on it only for them to not like it so sorry if you don’t like any of these things!

I love aubergine, I think they are probably one of the best things to eat. 

I seem to be making a lot of fermented food at the moment so thought I would make some sour Aubergines

Rough method

• Boil the aubergines for about 20mins until soft
• Grate some carrots and garlic 
• Heat the carrots and garlic 
• Slice aubergines in half 
• Put the garlic carrot and oil inside
• Press them down for a couple of days
• They put in a jar

This didn’t work for me as they went all moldy which I don’t think they are meant to. 

 

If you haven’t watched the dectorists I really think you should. It is lovely program that makes you think that everything will be alright. This article about the dectorists sums it up nicely. So you should go and watch all three series of it now. Enjoy. If you don’t enjoy don’t blame me! 

The third series is on iplayer here but watch from the first.
