Hi there,
I’m Rachael the jar-loving preserving enthusiast behind Miam Jars.
I’ve been obsessed with food and cooking since I could walk, with family and friends supporting and enduring obsessions with cake decorating, ice-cream, everything dough related, preserving, pickling and fermenting, and cheese-making.
These days, I’ve happily given up moulding people and ribbons out of fondant icing but the preserving and pickling love has stayed strong.
I’m a flexitarian, cooking predominantly plant-based food at home with a focus on whole foods. This is the basis for Miam Jars, where we use fruit and vegetables you can see, flavoured with delicious spices and aromatics that are then cooked or pickled to make delicious things in jars.

We like our labels simple and easy to understand, you’ll only find ingredients you can find in a home kitchen.
While our products are all vegan, they’re for everyone. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian, Miam Jars is here to help make plant-focused cooking easy, delicious and quick!
I share recipes online and on instagram. Or if you need a little help getting started drop me a note!
So what’s with the name?
Miam (said mee-yum) is the colloquial French word for yummy. Miam Jars is named for my favourite sandwich and crepe shop in Paris, Chez Alain Miam Miam.
If you’re ever near Marche des Enfant Rouge Market it’s well worth a visit. The sandwiches are as legendary as Alain himself.
The passion and joy Alain shows with his ingredients, cooking and bringing people together with flavour-led food encapsulated what I wanted to share with Miam Jars.
