New trade show will demonstrate how to cater for vegans

A host of catering experts will be showcasing the delights of plant-based cooking as well as offering their insights into how best to integrate vegan meals into the major catering and hospitality trades, at the UK’s first dedicated vegan Trade show,  VegfestUK Trade (Friday  20 October 2017, Olympia London).

 

Amongst the experts present at the Plant-Based Chefs Corner are:

Italian chef and Soho Radio host Aldo Zilli, alongside nutritionist, chef and author Christine Bailey, vegan caterer Shambhu’s founder Nishma Shah (pictured), 222 Veggie Vegan restaurant head chef Ben Asamani, Vantra restaurant founder and manager Lenny Phong, Amico Bio organic vegetarian Italian restaurant head chef Pasquale Amico, Tofurky chairman and founder Seth Tibbott, as well as vegan cheese maker Mel Rogers from Mel’s Kindness Kitchen.

 

Radio presenter, author and chef to the A-listers, Aldo Zilli specialises in Italian and vegetarian cuisine. Award-winning chef and restaurateur Aldo says: “Catering for vegans and those who eat a plant-based diet is an art form, and a specialised area, and as one of the first people to open a restaurant in the UK to cater for plant-based diets, I know all about it.

 

“I’m looking forward to sharing some of my secrets, experiences and recipes with you.”

 

This area of this inaugural event is tailored to those working in the catering and hospitality trades and the growing Cafe Culture movement. The Corner will include:

  • A Vegan Mylk and Latte workshop, looking at the use of plant “milks” in lattes and other caffeinated drinks.
  • A Vegan Meat session dissecting the different varieties of plant meats available in the market nowadays.
  • A Vegan Cheese Making and Blind Tasting Workshop
  • A Vegan Pastries, Cakes and Desserts session involving the making of veganised versions of the traditional favourites for every sweet tooth.
  • An Italian masterclass demonstrating how Italian cuisine lends itself well to vegan cooking

 

  • An Optimum Nutrition Vegan Options panel dissecting which vegan options are best for those looking for meals to power them through their hectic lifestyles in the long run.
  • A panel discussion where industry experts from the vegan circles discuss the do’s and don’ts of catering for vegans in restaurants, cafes and other eateries as well as what vegans are looking for most when eating out.

 

It is the aim of the organisers that delegates will take away lots of delicious vegan recipes and useful ideas for incorporating vegan editions of everyday favourites into their own catering and hospitality businesses.
