To prepare in advance:  

Please take approximately a 1 kilo Savoy cabbage and tear off the leaves, then gently wash. Lay the leaves in a food safe container one at a time, sprinkling each layer with a couple of pinches of sea salt. Once all the leaves are layered, cover the surface with clingfilm and press the cabbage using a chopping board, plate or bowl. Leave overnight at room temperature. 10 minutes before the live session; remove the cabbage from the container and rinse thoroughly.

Background 

The idea that the foods we consume have an impact on our health and wellbeing is indisputable and has been gaining traction in recent decades, yet still most modern medicine fails to consider nutrition. It is a lack of research which inspired Kirill and Jozef to begin the HYPERFOODS project. Since 2018 the duo have worked on research that can be developed into delicious recipes which potentially optimise people’s diets, improve their wellbeing and reduce chronic diseases.
