This week I have challenged myself to take on vegan cooking. I’m not going to lie, I can’t remember ever cooking vegan at home, but I’ve had some memorable moments at work through the years. There was the family of four who ordered an eight-course surprise tasting menu a few years back in a notable restaurant I trained in.
The team huddle vibe was unnerving but had a novelty value – the chef with all the answers left stumped. From my hazy memory, the family of four ate lots of tomato water and compressed cucumber, disguised in different forms. They left happy, crisis averted, and some unique dishes were created on the fly. Nowadays, vegan-friendly dishes are far more common, but often uninspiring. More on that later.
It’s far from Kyoto I have taken inspiration for this week’s recipes. They come from our neighbours’ kitchen on the slopes of the Dublin mountains. This family of six follow a strict vegan diet and are a picture of calmness and cool. “What do you eat on busy midweek evenings?”, I asked them as I scrambled to take notes and start to build some ideas.
