Elizabeth Rushe is the founder of Berlin Belly. A writer and photographer from Ireland living in Berlin since 2005, Elizabeth spent several years working for tech start-ups in the city – then made a change and completed a one year QQI certified training course in Organic Horticulture at the Organic Centre in Ireland in 2014/15. As well as growing most of the food on her plate that year, it became apparent that home-cooking, fermenting and preserving was a crucial skill in order to survive: living in a remote cottage with no transportation, almost non-existent public transport and no shops (or spätis) nearby. Now back in Berlin, the food journey continues!
