Rawligion in central London

If you are like me and haven’t found/made time to try Rawligion in central London, this post will give you a small visual insight into what the café serves.

It looks good!

The restaurant sent me photos of (from top) raw chocolate Rochers, Thai slaw, raw dehydrated falafels, lemon tahini dip & hemp tabbouleh and finally the raw pancakes.

A five-course vegan and gluten-free fine dining event for vegans, vegetarians & everyone!

While Asparagasm sets a monochrome tone for a Modsummer Madness, Jay’s menu for ‘Core Values’ promises to deliver a colourful expression of great vegan flavours:

  • Garlic & Flaxseed Cracker with Roasted Balsamic Beetroot, Beetroot Crisp & Smoked Paprika Cheese
  • Plantain, Coriander & Peanut Ball with Sweet Marinated Chilli
  • Ras El Hanout spiced Quinoa with Sweet Potato, Creamed Avocado, Parsnip Crisps & Pickled Emoki Mushrooms
  • Layers of Courgette Pasta, Pecan Nutmeat, Marinated Mushrooms & Red Onion with Basil Pesto & Creamy Tomato Sauce
  • Coconut & Lemon Posset with Lime Gel & fresh Pineapple & Passion Fruit
  • Vanilla Tart with textures of Raw Cacao & Mango Sorbet

Trained at Michelin starred Lords of the Manor Jay Halford is founder and Chef at the Core in Cheltenham. Asparagasm loves his values and passion for food and his work to make juicing, raw superfoods accessible to people means his food is great looking, nutritious and so tasty:

 “My background as a chef and in catering has meant that for me, taste always comes first. I believe that you should recognise every ingredient that is used in a recipe; how they are best combined to create the ultimate taste.” Jay Halford

With live music from talented artists who have emerged from the Key Changes hospital and community programmes, Core Values is a night fusing food, music and good mood. Proceeds from the night support Key Changes award-winning programmes promoting positive mental health through music.

With welcome canapes and drinks join an open mic session from 6.30pm. Dinner is served from 7.30 with an extra helping of live music served at dessert.

Vegan fairtrade and organic spirits are served from the FAIR bar along with Asparagasm pale ale and biodynamic wine and cordially sparkling organic drinks from Elderbrook.

Tickets are available online at www.asparagasm.com via EventBrite or email Kate at dine@asparagasm.com if you wish to arrange a group booking.

More vegan pizza

Vegan pizza is the new trend in food, it would appear.

Following on from the news that Firezza is now offering vegan cheese as an option, another restaurant has started advertising a vegan pizza on their menu.

Check it out!

ICCO is a much-adored Italian restaurant on Goodge Street that claims to offer ‘London’s most authentic Italian pizza’.

That authentic pizza now comes vegan if you want it!
