I’m so happy to team up with sustainable companies as they are really valuing the importance of upcycling materials and reduce their impact on the environment in a way that is still affordable for everyone.
Fast fashion is a big issue of our modern society which is promoted by many digital creators encouraging people to buy more clothing than they need, leading to more waste, immense amount of resources and poorly paid workers.
Changing things around starts first of all from each and every single one of our choices.

Two zero waste coffee alternatives which taste great and are jam packed with health benefits!
**DANDELION COFFEE ☕️🌼**
- Harvest the dandelion plant.
- Use a hoe or a trowel to dig out the roots without damaging them too much.
- Cut off the leaves and flowers from the root, but remember to keep them as they make a great stir fry or salve (check out my previous videos).
- Wash the roots with a brush to get rid of the dirt.
- Cut them into small bits.
- Let them air dry for a few days or use a dehydrator (make sure they are completely dry).
- Roast at 160°C for about 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it; this step is important as it gives the root a nice flavor.
- Let them cool and grind finely with a coffee grinder, mortar, or blender.
- Use 3/4 teaspoon for a cup of coffee.
- It has a mild flavor.
- You can also add extra flavor to it with some cinnamon powder, vanilla, and cardamom for a lovely warming cuppa.
- Store in an airtight container for 3 months.
**DATES COFFEE ☕️🌴**
- Divide the pulp from the seed.
- Use the pulp for a date paste or store it in an airtight container.
- Wash the seeds and let them air dry for a few days or use a dehydrator.
- Roast in the oven at 160°C for about 20-30 minutes.
- Use a blender to grind into a fine powder.
- This powder has a very similar coffee aroma.
- 5 seeds make a cup of coffee.
- Mix 3/4 teaspoon in hot water.
- Use as is or add extra flavor like cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla, etc.
- Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Throughout the year we harvested many kilograms of tomatoes from our small urban garden in London.
It’s the perfect time to celebrate the harvest like we used to do with my grandparents in Italy elevating simple and delicious flavours.
*always pick tomatoes leaving the calyx (remnant of the flower) still attached as it will keep the tomatoes fresher for longer. You can throw them in the compost before using your tomatoes.
TOMATO SKIN POWDER:
- tomatoes skins
- Garlic powder
- Dry oregano
- Dry basil
STEP BY STEP:
1. Score your tomatoes with a knife and submerge in hot water for a few minutes
2. Cool down in icy water (or under running tap water) and peel off the skin
3. Dry at low temp in the oven, dehydrator or using sunlight if you are lucky with the weather (not my case in uk 😂)
4. Blend with the rest of the ingredients and store in a jar
TOMATO PASSATA: 🍅
- whole peeled tomatoes (or with skin if you like it)
1. Boil and blend
2. Store in a sterilised jar
*you can make tomato passata with the skins on but if you don’t like it, this is a great way to use them

2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate.
3. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate and sprinkle them with some sea salt.
4. Place them on baking paper in the fridge until set.
5. For a thicker chocolate coat, double dip them in the chocolate after the first dip is set.
6. Prepare the tempura batter by mixing your leftover apple cider or beer with flour, lemon zest, and coconut sugar.
7. Bring the frying oil to a boil, then lower the temperature slightly to prevent the pops from burning.

I created a vertical garden that fits in any small space, allowing you to be more self sufficient and produce some of your own food.
MATERIALS:
1 x 12” plastic pipe
1 x tape measure
1 x sharpie
Hand saw or electric
12 x strawberry plant
Spray paint (optional)
Organic compost
STEP BY STEP:
- Measure and mark out spaces every 15 cm on your plastic pipe going from one side to the other (one mark left, one mark right and so on)
- Cut an horizontal slit on every mark around 10 cm wide
- Turn on your heat gun and carefully warm up the area where you made your first slit. Hold it far enough to not overheat the plastic and cause bubbles.
- Once warm enough use a bottle to open the slit and hold it in place until the plastic turns solid again (repeat for every slit)
- I used an old pot to close the bottom part of the strawberry tower using the heat gun (it already has drainage holes)
- Optional: spray paint the tower now and leave it to dry completely
- Hang the tower in any balcony, terrace, garden etc. Ideally in a well lit area
- Start from the bottom and fill every hole with your compost
- Make some space with your hands to fit your strawberry plants
- Water every hole and wait until your plants starts producing food 🍓

Bokashi is a Japanese word which means “fading away”. You can just use 2 old buckets and start fermenting your food scraps without smell, or pests and you can compost almost anything!
TOOLS:
2 x old buckets
1 x drill
1 x flat drill bit
1 x 0.8 size drill bit
1 x spigot
1 x cheesecloth or similar
Bokashi bran
STEP BY STEP:
- Drill a hole at the base of one of the buckets using your flat drill bits (I used a 14 mm but it depends on the spigot size)
- Fit your spigot in the hole and secure it in place
- Drill holes at the bottom of your second bucket using a 0.8 size drill bit
- Slide the buckets with holes at the bottom inside your bucket with the spigot
- Place your cheesecloth inside and start layering bokashi bran, food scraps and so on
- Fill up the bucket and once full, leave it to ferment for 10-12 days
- Drain the liquid using your spigot every 2-3 days
- Donate the solids to any friend, family or community garden to bury in the garden
NOTE: The liquid can be used to water your plants or even to remove algae and/or faulty smell from your drainage. Wait 3 weeks before planting plants over your buried food scraps. Make sure to add bokashi bran for every layer of food scraps.
