SEASON ONE / 7 EPISODES
Join Su Dennett as she shares her passion for food and nourishment, her wisdom on the household non-monetary economy with a generous dash of frugal hedonism.
Su has shared this knowledge with family, colleagues and visitors for decades and now it is available to you.
Whether you are at the start of your journey to greater personal, household and collective reliance or are a seasoned manager of household abundance, Do With Su will provide inspiration, strategies and techniques, and even a recipe or two that you can add to your mix.


This ancient staple is a Melliodora kitchen hero — and once you've made it from scratch, you'll wonder why you ever bought them.

The Melliodora kitchen is where a whole philosophy lives. Walk through it with Su and you'll leave with a new way of seeing your own.

A few ingredients, a bit of warmth, and a little patience. Su shows you multiple methods so you can find the one that fits your kitchen and your life.

You can't separate the skills from the story. Su shares where her philosophy of nourishment comes from — the context that makes everything else make sense.
Grain to sourdough loaf, start to finish. Once you've watched Su do it, you'll have everything you need to make bread a weekly ritual.

David Holmgren has been lighting this wood stove every morning for decades. A small ritual with a big philosophy.
Labour of love? Absolutely. Worth it? Every single time. Su takes you grain to plate — and makes it feel completely doable.

Got questions? Grab the live, private Q&A and put them straight to Su. It's your chance to ask the woman herself.



Soak up some wisdom from one of the most radical women in permaculture.
Su is a force to be reckoned with, with a wicked sense of humour. She can be seen and heard along side her partner David Holmgren and together they keep the cogs of Melliodora running smoothly.
What Su can’t tell you about frugal living and funky goat cheese just ain’t worth knowing.
In these episodes filmed at Melliodora, Su will walk and talk you through key homesteading skills and tried-and-tested know how.
And you’ll meet some of her expert homesteading and permaculture friends.
