Saturday night I went to my first raw food event organized by Crudo Café, part of Eva, the Flemish Vegetarian and Vegan society. It was my first time at a gourmet raw dinner and I have to say it was mind blowing! I was served entrées, 3 soups: a shiitake mushrooms soup, a Thai carrot soup (get me the recipe now because my creamiest carrot soup has never felt this velvety !) and a paprika and mint soup; Pad Thai entirely made of vegetables; mushroom and broccoli curry and a wonderful coconut and walnuts dessert. The evening was very pleasant, I went there on my own and I had the pleasure to share the table with 4 other people. We were all so pleased with the food presented to us that we could not believe raw vegetables could be so malleable.
As the organizers Stefan Lemoine and Jan De Ceuleneer rightly explain: “we are alienated from our food and its origins and addicted to food that undermines our health (and the planet). With Café Crudo our aim is to combat both of these points. Raw food is a valuable addition to our current diet which is too full of meat, fats and sugars.”. It was a total 10/10 for me and easily the most delicious meal I have ever had in Belgium so far.
Theevent is organized (regularly I hope) at restaurants around Belgium and it aims to promote vegan, healthy ways of eating as part of the Eva philosophy about ethical eating. All preconceptions about raw food were crushed on the spot by the beautiful and delicious dishes served on the night. Well done Crudo! Now, when’s the next one because I so want to come back!
