The Sri Lankan Experience

I was craving a VLT whilst travelling & not just any VLT, specifically made with Vegan Richmond Sausages & my homemade tartare sauce 🤤 also crunchy romaine / gem lettuce is a must 🥬

It is giving me open top Danish sandwiches (smørrebrød) introduced to me by my wonderful friend 🫶💚

What have we got here then ⁉️

Two weeks ago I got the pleasure of hosting a Supper Club at at our Swim & Supperclub event 🍽️🏊‍♂️

Honestly and truly it was one of the most beautiful evenings ever! Not to mention the round of applause 🤭🙌

It was a pleasure to feed the 90 dining guests plus all fabulous volunteers, who helped us in everyway possible, and the orchestra, who created the most perfect ambience for the evening. 🎶🎼

I have spoken about this before, but the current foody climate certainly isn't what it used to be, with cost of living on the rise; eating out, street food, etc becomes a luxury, which unfortunately makes it really tough for independent brands. 😳 When an event like this comes together it really does impact the business in many ways unimaginable, it creates momentum, gives courage, and motivates in an unpredictable time. ✌️

Thank you so much to everyone who dipped, dined, drank, danced, can't think of another D word related to that evening 😜 but the love was felt 💚

THIS TIME NEXT WEEK 🏊‍♂️🍽️

90 lucky people will be swimming & scranning with us 👙🩳🍛🍸🍻

😊💚 THANK YOU 😊💚

To everybody who ate with us at on Friday and yesterday 😜👍

Our Okra Fries 🍟 flew out as per usual and you ate us out of Sauteed Spicy Potatoes and home 😉🤣

Not the best quality photo but it does the job 📸🤣

A wise Welsh girl once said 'If you don't go cross eyed at your own scran, you are doing it wrong' 💁‍♀️🤙

Who is bloody loving the Spring in the air? ⛅😎🕶️

Miss Extra Curriculum has done it again 🤙😂📜

From a young age I have always been immersed into nature, and I think that comes from living in the countryside and next to the coast 🌊🏞️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The different biodiversities meant I could forage all-sort of goodies 🐚🍎🍓 Both my nanny's showed me the importance of being connected to nature and helped my inner wild child to grow. 🌞

I learnt how to forage for beautiful shell fish and seaweed and how to create locally sourced dishes 🦞 and got excited for different seasonal produce like crab apples and blackberries. 🍂

In my older age I love making Cherry blossom 🌸 syrup in the spring and Elderflower champagne in the summer 🍾 and preserving lots of tasty ingredients to use throughout the year! 🍯

Doing this online course alongside other 'hands-on' foraging courses has continued my expansion of love for the outside and what it has to offer. I want to be reunited with our ancestors way of life and follow Mother Gaia's rituals 🌎

I recommend everyone to get out there and sniff, touch, nibble, all of the new flavours that are sitting on our doorstep. Even in urban areas there are plenty of leaves, berries, weeds, to be found 🔎🌿💚

As you can tell by my many chins 🤣👧 I had an absolutely fabulous time at Levenshulme Market] last Saturday 🎪

Our Bonda Balls SOLD OUT in a few hours 🥔🍛 people really do love curried potato balls in batter! 🤙💚

Our Dandelion Fritters were a hit 🏵️🍴 come & try them next time...they are so so tasty! 😏

Unfortunately we were supposed to be at Levenshulme Market] this coming Saturday but we are venturing to the lakes for a well needed bit of TLC 🌏💚

Love you longtime Levy!!!

Absolutely buzzing 🐝 to be back at tomorrow ☺️🤙

Looking forward to seeing old & new faces 🥰💚

Open from 10am until 4pm - be sure to try our Dandelion Fritters 🏵️✨

Happy Earth Day, Earth 🌎💚

💚Earth Day should be everyday 💚

I'm so lucky to have two homes on this planet, Levenshulme & Pembrokeshire 🏡 along with France, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, all sharing a space in my heart too. 👌😍

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” —Albert Einstein

Each and everyday think about how you can improve our planet, whether it be cycling to work, fixing your trousers instead of replacing them, swapping a ham sandwich for a falafel wrap, purchasing a reusable water bottle to refill, attending local environmental protests/talks, educating yourself & others. ☺️🤙

What goes hand in hand 🖐️welllllll.... Dandelions and Turmeric Batter 🤤 and you've got yourself...

Since the beginning of lockdown I have been hosting COOKALONGS for friends, family, colleagues and different groups alike. 👩‍🍳🍳💻

These are fun, interactive, informative zoom meeting seminars; where I step by step take a group through the process of cooking one or a few of my dishes whilst they themselves take on the challenge of putting together these recipes. 🔪🍚

On the journey they will learn facts related to the food and its origins along with its health benefits. We always have a great time in this creative process and it often is a great way for people to relax, learn and grow as a team together. 🔰🌏

I would like to offer you the opportunity to join one of my online COOKALONGS, it is a great way to engage or excite any group of individuals and at the same time learn how to cook seasonal, plant-based, Sri Lankan dishes. 🇱🇰💚

If you know of any businesses, companies, workplaces that are looking for an unique cooking experience for/with their employees, please get in touch with us. DM us or email us at [email protected] 🤗

Have a browse at some of our previous COOKALONGS! ➡️➡️➡️

As some of you may know we have been working with Lifeshare]] for a couple of years now, raising money and donating food to those in need! 😊👌💚

Over the last two months we gave our customers an option to donate 50p of their meal price to Lifeshare]] and thanks to all your generosity we managed to make £20 🥳👏 We wanted to help more so decided to round the total figure up to £50!

Lifeshare]] is such an amazing charity, with dedicated people working wholeheartedly everyday to help vulnerable people - thank YOU for all that you do! 👫👬👭
