When you're seeking out a quick kick of health, a green juice is a well known path, but this White Rabbit will lead you down a new path of the goodness garden.

Moving beyond the usual suspects [bye bye cucumber and spinach], this recipe calls for a huge brassica hit. The unusual combination of cabbage, kohlrabi, and fennel offers a surprising zesty flavour that is [not too] sweet and sour. 

Loaded with vitamin C and K, this juice can keep internal inflammation in check and improve digestion. Curious? Do as Alice does — follow the White Rabbit.

Busy lives deserve a little wind-down. Nikki Ralston of The Ralston Method beautifully demonstrates a series of gentle, meditative yoga poses for everyday use.

It could be tricky to separate author Fanny Singer from her mother, renowned chef Alice Waters, founder of restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. But the two have found a way to exist symbiotically; one ready to make, and one there to observe. 

So, what does one absorb when they are guided through their years by Alice Waters? When it comes to cooking, Fanny echoes her mother’s values, reminding us that when you’re working with vibrant, organic produce, you don’t need to do much. 

Inside her book <em>Always Home</em>, a memoir about her experiences around Waters’ pioneering eating establishment, Fanny dedicates an entire chapter to her love of salad – a direct effect of her family’s own eating habits. Her recipe below Summer Salad puts the creator in charge, giving ideas over facts, suggestions over absolutes, because, as Fanny says, salad is such a forgiving vehicle that can morph and adapt depending on one’s preferences to flavour and bite.

A Détacher means to be detached, as in: to detach the label from the garment. A sentiment not only suggestive of the practicality of obtaining a piece of clothing and putting it to use, but also the values of the designer behind it who prefers for you to shop with intention and not buy things because of the label and its social association. 

Artist Ana Kras visited Mona at her home, just before A Détacher showed a finale collection at New York Fashion Week. The ending of this chapter stems from Mona’s personal desire to step back and focus on other creative projects. We feel lucky to have caught Mona in a moment of change, a time where she is allowing her intuition to guide her.

We’ve created a punchy tonic, full of flavour, and packed with major healing properties. Use as an alternative to apple cider to balance flavours in dressings and curries, or take as a quick shot in the morning.

Paired with sweet pineapple — a champion at reducing inflammation and assisting in healthy liver function, this vinegar is also excellent for soothing dermatitis (throw ¼ cup of vinegar into your bath). Ultimately, vinegar is the tool to give a kick to the palette and balance the body’s pH levels, both inside and out.

Pineapple Fire Vinegar is an easy-to-make dynamic and holistic concoction; a spicy combination we can’t get enough of.
