From the art of fermentation (and a few kitchen disasters) to the secrets of authentic recipes and the joy of cooking with humble ingredients, Julius takes us on a journey through tradition, travel, and taste. Discover why slow food matters, how culinary traditions are preserved, and what happens when you try to recreate street food classics at home. Plus, Julius reveals his favourite dishes, guilty pleasures, and the one ingredient he pretends to like. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just love a good story, this episode will inspire you to savour every bite, and maybe even dust off your pressure cooker. Julius Fiedler is a filmmaker-turned-content-creator dedicated to promoting a natural, unprocessed approach to plant-based food. After moving from Germany to the UK in 2017, his journey took off during the Covid pandemic with free online sourdough classes as “Baking Hermann.” He later worked as a food stylist at Jamie Oliver HQ before building his own platforms. Now, his videos reach millions across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, sharing traditional vegan techniques learned from local cooks worldwide. A Slow Food ambassador, Julius believes food should align with nature and sustainability. Naturally Vegan is his debut book.
