I absolutely loved talking with Rebecca Newburn, the Founder of the Seed Library Network! Past podcast guest and friend Ranya Dube connected us after a workshop that Ranya hosted and Rebecca spoke in. I remember hearing recently that I think it was Israel that destroyed Gaza's national seed library, which got my mind wanting to learn more about seed libraries, and why that mattered so much. I had heard of seed libraries, but I didn't know really anything about them. But Rebecca does, and now we will, too!We talked about why seed libraries are important, and why locally grown seeds and varieties are important, the difference between a seed library and a seed bank, how to find libraries, and how to start one if you don't have one near you. Man, this is such an important conversation! I feel so lucky to have Rebecca's dedication to the seed library project, and that she is sharing this important piece of preserving history and saving the future with all of us!Do you know where your local seed library is?

In this inspiring episode, we explore the vital practice of seed saving in Idaho and how it's transforming local communities through the passionate work of the Wood River Seed Library. Host David DeHaas sits down with Amy Mathews for an enlightening conversation on why saving seeds isn't just a gardening hobby—it's a powerful act of reclaiming food sovereignty, nurturing bioregional resilience, and building robust local food systems.You'll discover how heirloom seeds, adapted to Idaho's unique climate and growing conditions, hold the key to long-term food security and ecological sustainability. Amy shares the mission of the Wood River Seed Library and how their work supports both new and seasoned gardeners in developing skills in seed harvesting, cleaning, storage, and viability—ensuring that open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds continue to thrive year after year.We also dive into the importance of bioregional seed adaptation, a practice that ensures seeds are not only locally grown but also genetically resilient to regional pests, diseases, and climate variations. This approach empowers Idahoans to break their dependence on corporate seed companies and fosters a deeper connection to land, culture, and community resilience.Whether you're a homesteader, small-scale farmer, or someone passionate about organic gardening and regenerative practices, this episode will equip you with valuable insights and practical steps to join the growing movement of seed savers in Idaho and beyond.Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on heritage, sustainability, and the grassroots revival of seed stewardship that is quietly redefining agricultural independence across the Gem State.Support the show Ready for your healing journey?Visit our website: www.LivingWatersCleanse.com Or give us a call at: (208) 378-9911Stem Cell Activation Patches:www.StemCellPatch.netGet your Supplements and Natural Body Products Here:www.livingwaterscleanse.com/supplementsQI-Shield EMF Devices:Protect your whole home or office with a touric shield from EMF's. 1.

We have a glorious mish-mash of tastes and experiences in this episode and we've loved every one of them. Starting with our two featured products, the omnipresent Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur and the small batch Baba au Rum Special Edition Guyana Single Cask Rum.Our book choice sees us going back in time, to 1948 in fact. This is when David A. Embury first published The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, and it's been one of the most revered books on cocktails and bar culture ever since.The Gaucho group of restaurants haven't been going for quite that long but long enough to have built a reputation for being one of the top spots for quality Argentinian steaks and wines across its 22 UK sites. But cocktails? Not so much. Until now that is. We popped in to try the brand new drinks list and were pretty darned impressed. As you'll hear from our review.And then another place which was never on our radar – the Isle of Man, where we catch up with Drew Fleming to talk about his bar Kiki Lounge and his plans to put IoM on the global cocktail map.For more from The Cocktail Lovers, visit thecocktaillovers.comFor the products featured in this episode, see websites below:What we're mixing:The Martini (Medium)40ml London Dry gin20ml dry vermouth20ml sweet vermouthMethod:Stir ingredients over ice and pour into a chilled Martini glass.Adapted from The Savoy Cocktail BookBaba au Rum Special Edition Guyana Single Cask RumGaucho RestaurantsKiki LoungeMr Black Cold Brew Coffee LiqueurThe Fine Art of Mixing Drinks by David A.

You asked for it, and you got it - all of you kind people who filled out my survey asked for more interviews with more legends. Our guest is the world's most-awarded bartender & bar owner. If Mr Lyan isn't a legend, I don't know who is.If you call yourself a cocktail connoisseur, then you will have come upon the name Mr Lyan in your travels. Ryan Chetiyawardana, aka Mr Lyan opened White Lyan in London in 2013. It was a moment that will go down in cocktail history as the first cocktail bar in the world to use no perishables, no fruit, and even no ice, an innovative approach to sustainability, with much lower waste and a use of pre-made cocktails and never before seen ingredients. This focus on a ground-breaking approach remains in the evolution of White Lyan, Super Lyan, Dandelyan, Cub, Lyaness, Silver Lyan, and Seed Library.Ryan's with me to discuss his new book, Mr Lyan's Cocktails at Home: Good Things to Drink with Friends, but we go into so much more - How his relationship to flavor evolved, how his studying Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins as well as Biology at Edinburgh University spurred him on to get behind the bar, and why the need to write a book at all.You have no idea how excited I am to finally have Ryan on the show!Before we begin, you can always watch this episode on Youtube, plus all the other Lush Life episodes as well as a whole lot more; just head to youtube.com/@lushlifemanualThe cocktail of the week is Ryan's Barlay Champagne!INGREDIENTS 4 shots (100ml/4oz) water6 shots (150ml/6oz) lemon barley water cordial8 shots (200ml/8oz) fino sherry or dry vermouth12 shots (300ml/12oz) London dry gin10 dashes TabascoRosemary sprigs, to garnishMETHODAdd the water, cordial, sherry or vermouth, and gin to a jug, then add the Tabasco Stir and then decant into a clean wine bottle and chill wellTo serve, add a shot and a half (40ml/1.5oz) of the chilled mixture to a flute, then top with bubbles. Add a sprig of rosemary and serveThe Magic is that “you can make lemon barley cordial at home (it's a very old-fashioned British cordial of pearl barley and lemon), but this recipe works great with any store-bought cordial that brings sweetness and acidity. Elderflower, blackcurrant, or even more regional ones such as redcurrant or gooseberry also work-although there's a richness to the barley addition that works wonderfully. Tabasco adds a background heat, but try adding other accent spices such as gochujang or sriracha - just sieve it after mixing to remove any particulates, as they will interfere with the fizz. Plus, you just want a hint of fruity warmth. else you'll throw the balance of the drink.”You'll find this recipe, more Champagne cocktail recipes, and all the cocktails of the week at alushlifemanual.com, where you'll find some of the ingredients in our shop.Full Episode Details: https://alushlifemanual.com/cocktails-at-home-with-ryan-chetiyawardana-----Become a supporter of A Lush Life Manual for as little as $5 - all you have to do is go to patreon.com/lushlifeLush Life Merchandise is here - we're talking t-shirts, mugs, iPhone covers, duvet covers, iPad covers, and more covers for everything!

Today, we visit with Sheila Pennycuff, a Librarian at the Blount County Public Library located in Maryville, TN, and the woman who took an old wooden card catalog and turned it into a seed library. This seed library is located inside the Blount County Public Library. It is an essential service to the community where patrons check out seeds and contribute seeds back to the seed library.⁣ We also hear details of the seed and plant swap on Saturday, January 21, 2013, from 10:00 A.M.-12:00 Noon at the Blount County Public Library.⁣ Deena Trimble speaks on Seed saving, seed sharing, and winter sowing using plastic jugs with lids.

In this conversation with drinks entrepreneur and educator Ryan Chetiyawardana, some of the topics we discuss include: The origin story of the name “Mr. Lyan” and how Ryan's family relationships with movers and shakers in the design and fashion world influenced the wide scope and inclusive lens of his bar projects. Ryan's framework for creativity and drink creation, which incorporates input at all levels of the bar team and thrives on the diversity of experience and passion of bar managers, bartenders, and even barbacks.  How the question of privilege in the cocktail world has led Ryan to explore everything from eliminating ice from his bar program, to using the “less desirable” cuts of citrus, to exploring the role of sea level rise in a recent bar menu. We also explore how he thinks about cocktail education, including his recent cocktail Masterclass with Lynette Marrero and the one key teaching about balance that might just cause you to rethink the way you approach drink design. Along the way, we gloss over a few other boring little details, like how to use moon rocks as gin botanicals, the decimal point that launched a thousand spinach enterprises, where to grab a drink with David Bowie in London, and much, much more.  This episode is brought to you by Near Country Provisions.

Ep 207 - The true meaning of sustainability in bars with one of the best in the industry with Ryan Chetiyawardana Aka Mr Lyan for the World Class Cocktail Festival Cocktail bartender Ryan Chetiyawardana goes by Mr Lyan, which is arguably easier to say. He opened his first bar, White Lyan, in London in 2013 as the first cocktail bar in the world to use no perishables; no fruit and even no ice. It's an exploration of sustainability, with much lower waste and the use of pre-made cocktails and innovative ingredients was a ground-breaking venue. Ryan currently operates Lyaness-London, Super Lyan-Amsterdam, Silver Lyan-Washington DC, Seed Library, Mr Lyan Studio, as well as being a Masterclass instructor. He is also going to be in Australia for the Highly anticipated World Class Cocktail Festival returns 9-18 September in Sydney with colourful cocktail experiences and never-seen-before collaborations. The World Class Cocktail Festival will simultaneously host over 50 of the world's best bartenders, including a collaboration between Ryan and Peter Gilmore at Quay.   With all that said, it's a pleasure to have Ryan as a guest this week. In this podcast we discuss:  -How he started out in the bar industry. -What it takes to be an awarded bartender. -Why Ryan cares about sustainability so deeply. -How he trains his team to care about sustainability. -How biology has helped him in the industry and in product development. -How he treats the bar like a kitchen and blurs the boundaries between them. -During the World Class Cocktail Festival, Johnnie Walker Blue Supper Club is popping up at Quay for 3 days only (14-16th) and is collaborating with Peter Gilmore from Quay, what can people expect.

The daffodils are out and as some of you may know from previous episodes that when the daffodils come out, I get behind the mic for a short chat. I need to thank all of you for being so patient with me. It's been kind of a crazy year. In between traveling and covid and other life stuff, I know Lush Life has been a bit sporadic!  I also want to thank all of you who have helped me by filling out the Lush Life 2022 survey. If you had no idea I even had a survey, I would really appreciate your checking it out and filling it out. You can find it at https://alushlifemanual.com/lush-life-survey-2022 (alushlifemanual.com/survey-2022)! So far, it's been really interesting to hear what y'all think and what more you want out of Lush Life, both on the podcast and on the blog. Thank you all who said it was good as it is, but we can always improve! Overall, so far, you've suggested more industry icon interviews, more international bar reviews and booze travel, more easy-to-follow drink recipes, more basics for home bars, and even more Susan. Someone even asked for free drinks - which, unfortunately, I cannot provide. I assure you I am on the case, and many of your requests will be answered in the next few weeks! I promise.  Industry legends tick, more international bar reviews tick. More basics for home bars and even more Susan coming your way! I've been busy writing up what I call the Lush Guides - what to drink and where to drink in a destination. For London, I'll be finishing up South Kensington, the City of London, and adding to my favorite hotel bars in London after visiting Mr. Lyan's new bar, The Seed Library, in the brand new hotel One Hundred Shoreditch. Many others are coming as quickly as I can write them!   Please don't forget to head to https://alushlifemanual.com/ (alushlifemanual.com) to find loads of easy to advanced cocktail recipes and everything you need to set up that home bar.  Remember to check out the survey if you haven't already filled it out, and you know you can always show your support by buying me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lushlife (buymeacoffee.com/lushlife ) Well, that's all from me. Now, did you think I would leave you without a cocktail of the week? Never! Since April 9 is Gin and Tonic day, I guess that is my cocktail of the week! Spring is upon us, and I thought I would go Pink and make it the Pink Gin and Tonic. There are so many pink gins, I leave it to you to choose, but I am going with Gordon's as my Dad's name was Gordon and his birthday is in April. INGREDIENTS  50 ml Gordon's Pink Gin 150 ml Fever-Tree Tonic Strawberries METHOD Fill your glass with ice Add the gin Top up with the tonic Stir gently Add strawberries You'll find this recipe, more recipes, and all the cocktails of the week at https://alushlifemanual.com/ (alushlifemanual.com), where you'll find most of the ingredients in our shop. ----- Become a supporter of A Lush Life Manual for as little as $5 - all you have to do is go to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lushlife (buymeacoffee.com/lushlife).
