What is the appropriate workflow for running Jupyter Notebookes in VSCode with IJulia

So it is technically possible to run a Julia Jupyter notebook in VSCode without getting IJulia involved. However, this tends to get very buggy and I have been told that I should still get IJulia involved.

What is actually the exact workflow for doing this? I.e. I think I am supposed to create a kernel using IJulia in my console, and then connect to that through VSCode when I star the notebook. I am unsure how to do this.

I have tried to add IJulia to the environment, then run it in the VSCode console using

using IJulia

However, even if I then also run

notebook()

no specific kernel seems to show up when I start my notebook.

Also, do I need to add IJulia to the environment of the notebook, or can I set up the kernel anywhere?
