Basil poached peach, with vegan banana, rooibos and pumpkin ice cream

Our gorgeously delicious Vegan Ice Cream with Poached Seasonal Fruit Dessert – in this case, we used Peaches (all stone fruits work well, or pears, or apples BUT must be seasonal).

So the story behind this – is that our First-Year Students put together a POP-UP DINNER as a showcase under our guidance.

Our ethos is about “thinking twice” – including the Plant-Based Lifestyle, Ethical Eating and Sustainability – so this was the theme for the POP-UP DINNER.

Our starter was Plant-Based, Our Amuse Bouche was Vegan and our Dessert was Vegan. So Hats off to our students for these scrumptious creations.

There's more where this came from!
