Poké first began in Hawaii, based on a dish made from freshly caught fish massaged with sea salt, seaweed and inamona (crushed kukui nuts). Poké later evolved, taking on flavours from China and Japan that saw the addition of soy sauce and sesame oil to the dish.

The modern-day poké bowl is now a culinary melting pot, but the 'traditional' dish consists of raw marinated fish sliced or cut into even size pieces, tossed over fragrant rice, accompanied by a mix of raw and cooked vegetables and then drizzled with a flavoursome dressing. Ahi limu (seaweed), ahi poké, shrimp, spicy salmon, miso cod, dried beef - the possibilities are endless.

We've put together our top tips and suggestions to help you build your own restaurant worthy poké bowl.

Kombucha is a fermented drink made from sweetened tea and a live culture known as 'SCOBY' (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeasts) that becomes a delicious alternative to other carbonated beverages such as lemonade. It is largely classified as a functional beverage, meaning that it is a non-alcoholic drink that contains vitamins, amino acids or other nutrients.

Originating in Northeast China (and historically referred to as Manchuria) around 220 B.C, Kombucha is renowned for its healing properties, including probiotic benefits that encourage gut bacteria diversity and aid digestion. Despite a slight dip in international popularity during WWII as a result of tea and sugar supply shortages, Kombucha saw sales surge following a 1960s study conducted in Switzerland that compared its 'powers' to that of yoghurt.

We'll be discussing how Kombucha is made, some of the incredible benefits of this drink and how to spice up your own Kombucha with a whole host of flavour recommendations!
