Kicking off 2026 and Veganuary in true style with this dream collab 🧀✨

Ellie from and Carmen from are delighted to invite you to our Easy Vegan Cheese Workshop on 16 January at

During the workshop, you’ll learn how to create delicious plant-based cheeses from scratch, plus a range of recipes to use them in creative (and very tasty) ways. 😋

🌿 S A M O S A 🌿

Indian cuisine was the very first international cuisine I discovered when I moved abroad 10 years ago - right around the same time I became vegetarian. And let me tell you… it was love at first bite! 😍
Not only is Indian food naturally veggie-friendly (a blessing when eating out), but the abundance of spices, regional variety, and bold flavours completely won me over.
So, when I designed the menu for my Fusion Feast Supper Club, I knew I had to pay tribute to India. 🇮🇳

This is my take on samosas: a layered potato pavé, bound together with a rich cream infused with onion, garlic, ginger, chillies, nigella seeds, and a generous touch of homemade blend.
It’s topped with a tamarind & carrot chutney gel (to recall the sweet dips usually served with samosas) and a delicate, spiced pea cream (a nod to the peas used within the rich potato filling). Finished with pickled shallot and micro coriander for finesse. 👌

This was the very first course of the evening and, judging by the feedback, everyone’s favourite of the entire six-course menu. Honestly, how could I blame my guests? 😋

Thanks and for supplying Nonna Krishna’s spice blend 🌸

✨ Only 12 days to go until our next Supper Club in Bath at .eat.licious and only a handful of tickets left✨

It’s been a long summer break and we can’t wait to welcome you back!
This time, the theme is Fusion Feast: a six-course menu inspired by some of my favourite world cuisines, from Asia to the Mediterranean and everywhere in between. Each course will be a journey across borders, flavours and cultures. 🌏
So if you’re feeling the post-holiday blues, this evening will be the perfect way to keep the summer vibes alive. 😎

And because this menu is all about celebrating cultural connections in a time when food is so divisive, we’re proud to be donating part of the profits to .ebook , a project and e-book created by food and content creators worldwide, sharing P4lestinian-inspired recipes and stories. Proceeds from Cocomero support families in need, and on the night you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute further. 💚

With love, Carmen 🌸
