LEAFY GREENS

Thursdays: MEDIA & GASTRONOMY, July Focus: Vegan & Vegetarian

 If this spot of heaven doesn't make you want to try healthy living, with a dash of vegan and raw foods, then we are hopeless...its BEAUTIFUL and such a unique experience, that maybe you'll convert without even thinking about it, love at first bite I tell ya!

So Leafy Greens Cafe & Shop is a partially raw food, vegan friendly cafe that opened its doors in 2010. It shares premises with Casalinga Restaurant in Muldersdrift, which is beautiful on its own. 

The Cafe serves plant based foods, the menu is designed around what is in their garden, what is seasonal and locally available. Food that is sustainable and the has the smallest carbon footprint and that is the lowest on the food chain. Food high in minerals and vitamons and in its natural form. 

Antonia De Luca, the owner and founder, is a vibrant and passionate young woman who was brought up vegetarian and has always been involved in the family restaurant business, so naturally she was to end up in the hospitality industry herself, but making a difference. 
She visited many raw foods restaurants in the USA for inspiration after completing the Life Change Program at Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. 

The farm she opened up is organic and that's where you will find the treasured Cafe and Shop.

Leafy Greens, is a place of health, handcrafted foods, a place for healing and a peaceful escape. 

Ask about the Academy, they will teach you so much, you'll be both the expert and inspired.

THE PUDDING SHOP

Thursdays Focus: MEDIA & GASTRONOMY, this month sees us having a closer look at some vegan and vegetarian restaurants that'l change your mind about healthy animal free food.

WE LOVE THIS.......a true and rare gem.

So the idea of Vegan & Vegetarian Food was awful, until the divine chef said, 'Before you wince, just look a the menu, and I was sold. I had the French-Toast, granted, I asked for the offered Bacon, but it was divine non-the-less, and I am dying to go back. LOVE IT!!!

Our “The Pudding Shop” was inspired by the "Lale Restaurant" in Istanbul, Turkey. The restaurant became popular in the 1960s as a meeting place for hippie travellers en route between Europe and India. By word of mouth it became know as “The Pudding Shop”.

The Pudding Shop has morphed into what it was originally intended to be a space with a quiet energy with organic textures, serving well thought out dishes with your Well being and your Health in mind. Our menu is mainly Vegetarian and Vegan - where we use only seasonal ingredients.

We are open  from Tuesday - Sunday 08:30 - 4:30.

We serve Breakfast, Lunch and light snacks throughout the day.

Those that don¹t know exactly what vegan is, far from being difficult and extreme, veganism is easy, straightforward and delicious. Being a vegan is definitely more of a lifestyle choice and a philosophy than a diet. Vegan simply excludes anything that is of animal origin. Plant-based diets either minimise or eliminate people's genetic propensity to developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes type 2, cardiovascular disease, and cancer thus optimising health and a clearer conscience while looking and feeling younger and rejuvenated. As many of the greats who have come before us Voltaire (French author), Leonardo da Vinci (Italian painter, architect and engineer),Sir Isaac Newton (English physicist and mathematician) and Vincent Van Gogh (Impressionist painter), who all followed a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, 

Albert Einstein (Scientist) said it best: "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."

Eating your greens has never bean so tasty.
