Ditching Urban Life

After a multiyear hiatus, Soirée is back and switched things up. Permaculture Velocity is now Soirée with The Sauce. In this episode I share why we moved to rural Tennessee from San Diego and some of the big considerations if you are thinking about ditching the urban grind and moving to the country.

Watch the eight films from their trip People's Republic of Fermentation with filming by Mattia Sacco Botto. Later back in Tennessee, after their most excellent trip, (seriously watch the films!) I watched as Mara lovingly pulverized the ingredients in a mortar and pestle, blended and tasted, and poured the special sauce into a honey queenline jar. Amazing and delicious! There are countless riffs, I've added dehydrated sour corn, finely grated salted goose egg yolks, and fried and dried tempe—though not all in the same blend. You can find more details about special sauce in Sandor Katz's book Fermentation Journeys. Producer: Marina Darling Recorded in beautiful Hampshire, Tennessee Find me on Instagram www.soireeleone.com
