Heirloom Recipes 05. Miyeok-guk by Jiho Yun

Traditionally consumed by women after giving birth, Miyeok-guk [Korean Seaweed Soup] is full of nutrients, such as calcium and iodine, that the Korean culture believe are integral for pregnant or nursing mothers, to purify blood, help to shrink the uterus and increase breast milk supply.

In Korea, Miyeok-guk is eaten for birthday breakfast, as a celebration of one’s mother. This sentimental dish was brought to our attention by our friend Jiho Yun, who has been nourishing herself with her family’s recipe for Miyeok-guk since the arrival of her daughter.

Nasturtium Oxymel

Plants make themselves abundant when our bodies need them most. Most gardens, at this point in the year, will have lush nasturtiums tumbling around, so why not utilize them. Both the leaves and the petals are packed with high levels of vitamin C, which wildly improves immunity.

But forget pesto and salad garnish, we've blended this everyday herb into a warming ancient Greek oxymel. The bewitching word oxymel comes from the Latin word oxy, meaning acid, and mel, meaning honey. Both apple cider vinegar and raw honey are common kitchen allies, and when combined with nasturtium, which carries complementary benefits, this oxymel offers potent support against a compromised immune system.

Plus, the taste is so good. Sweet and sour pushed to the extremes, with a savory herbal flavour that lingers on the tongue. A swig of Nasturtium Oxymel each day will keep your body humming.

Fermented Honey + Garlic

The idea of fermentation feels instantly fussy and time consuming, but we promise this recipe is about as simple and easy as it gets…

King of superfoods, garlic acts as a daily defence against deeply rooted inflammatory ailments, and it is recommended that we ingest at least one clove a day, preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach. To avoid garlic-breath, we add raw honey, not only to sweeten the flavour but to further activate the benefits of garlic. The combined nutrition obtained from these two ingredients is then amplified by the natural occurrence of fermentation.

This powerhouse tonic is your free daily medicine for supreme vitality.

She uses her work – penned, painted, collaged, performed, to beautifully transform negative language into positive, and tell the creation stories of Te Ao Māori using symbols drawn from Māori rock art. We talked to her about drawing strength from her ancestors, the earth and even the air.

Mekdela Maskal

You might recognise Mekdela Maskal from our beautiful recent campaign imagery. But modelling is just one part of the wide-ranging work this intelligent and generous-spirited woman does.

A trained journalist, she has worked with Open Newsrooms to help local communities understand and participate in the news process more effectively, and is the Engagement Editor for Covering Climate Now, which works to increase and improve climate change journalism. One aspect of her work that drew our particular interest is in the little-understood realm of food justice – or food apartheid, as it’s increasingly being called.
