Sainsbury's Meat-Free Pop-up 'Butcher's Shop' in Bethnal Green Road

Sainsbury's is opening a 3 day pop-up meat-free 'Butcher's Shop' for World Meat Free Week from Fri 21st - Sun 23rd June at 146 Bethnal Green Road (the Brick Lane end).  There will be lots of Sainsbury's own meat-free products to buy - many of which you'll be able to taste for free - plus experts on hand to share recipes and tips.

"Sainsbury’s has announced it is opening the UK’s first ever Meat-Free Butchers… just in time for World Meat Free Week.
At first glance, the three day pop-up shop will look no different than a traditional meat butchers. But the sausages hanging in the window will in fact be the entirely vegan ‘Shroomdog’ sausages, and the mince will be made from pea protein.
The in-store butcher will be specially trained for plant-based cooking, sharing recipe advice and tips to help customers get invovled in World Meat Free Week, which encourages people to try more plant-based foods.
Boasting over a dozen high quality fresh foods, customers of the East-End ‘Butchers’ will get to choose a cut of the best boneless bites, before the food is weighed and wrapped as in a traditional store.
From the famous Sweet & Smoky BBQ Pulled Jackfruit and Cumberland Shroomdogs, to the brand new Veggie Ribz and Moroccon Vegbabs, customers can get their hands on these moreish meat alternatives, all for a discounted price.
Hungry visitors will not only be able to buy the plant-based, raw ingredients for their dinner but will also have the chance to taste many of the delicious products entirely for free.
This comes as Sainsbury’s has seen a 24% increase in customers searching for vegan products online, and a 65% increase in sales of plant-based products year-on-year - with sales having doubled in the last year compare to the previous year. However, many are still daunted by the prospect of cooking with plant-based foods.
We have carefully selected the products on offer from the growing range of over 100 plant-based products now available at Sainsbury’s, so customers are in for a real meat-free treat when visiting the butchers!”

When - Fri 21st - Sun 23rd June 2019
11am – 8pm on Friday
10am – 8pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Rajiv's Kitchen's Nepalese Residency at Great Guns Social near Borough

Rajiv's Kitchen, which went down a storm during a recent resdency in Tooting, is popping up for three weeks at Great Guns Social near to Borough, for three weeks, starting 22nd June 2019, with a ticketed feast, followed by 3 weeks of Tues-Sat service.  I've had Rajiv's food on two occasions now, and have been blown away by the flavours and all round tastiness each time.  Don't miss the momos (see above) but also his other traditional and inventive dishes.  Go!

"Nepal was a remote kingdom – in some ways it still is – that had to rely on what nature provided, sometimes in harsh conditions, and hence innovation and improvisation was required. Nepalese cuisine is an expression of a unique culture. It’s a style of food forged on the roof of the world. It’s not like Indian or Chinese food – the general misconception – but a bit of both and more.
Having been raised in the surroundings of the mountains and rivers in Nepal, Rajiv grew up using fresh herbs and spices for cooking that were often obtained through foraging. He began cooking from a very early age from observing his mum, aunts, uncles and grandma. Rajiv sees cooking as his art, creating delicious menus that will overwhelm your every sense.
Now living in the Big Smoke, Rajiv wants to share his childhood memories of laughing around the table, munching on flavoursome & delicious food with fellow Londoners, the same as he does with his family and friends; hence the birth of Rajiv’s Kitchen."

When - 22nd June - 13th July 2019
Tues- Sat: Lunch and Dinner: 12-3pm / 6-9.30pm

Where - Great Guns Social, 96 Southwark Bridge Rd, SE1 0EF

Tickets for the 4 course feast on Sat 22nd June from here

Overseas Chinese food's June & July Residency at Unwined in Tooting

Overseas Chinese Food, with chef Melissa Wong, will be in the kitchen at Unwined in Tooting from Thursday 13th June til the end of July 2019, Thursdays to Sundays, serving up Melissa's excellent Asian cuisine.  Expect dumplings, noodles and lots more, all paired with Unwined's excellent wines.  Go!

"Overseas Chinese" refers to Chinese persons residing in countries other than China. The Chinese people have a long history of migrating overseas. One of the earliest migrations dates back to the Ming dynasty when Zheng He (1371–1435) became the envoy of Ming. He sent people – many of them Cantonese and Hokkien – to explore and trade in the South China Sea and in the Indian Ocean.
Many variations of Chinese food can be found globally. The influence and happy accidents when adapting recipes is a testament to the pursuit of using produce available in that specific region.
Overseas Chinese Food is influenced by Chinese and South East Asian cuisine - and also, things we believe are delicious. We run pop ups at locations around London, and then kind of just see what happens. Come say hello!"

When - Thursdays to Sundays from 13th June - end of July 2019
Thu – Sat - 12 noon - 10pm
Sunday - 12 noon - 4pm

Where - Unwined in Tooting, Unit 16A Tooting Market, 21-23 Tooting High Street SW17 0SN

Pic by Mohamed Taha @motaha1

"Saima Khan founder of @hampsteadkitchn and Mandy Yin of @sambalshiok are joining forces forces to bring you our Malaysian Pakistani banquet on Sunday 16th June. There will be two seatings at 12pm and 3pm.
Muslims around the globe are currently fasting for the month Ramadan. To celebrate the end of Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr, we have created a lavish banquet showcasing dishes from Malaysia & Pakistan designed especially for sharing, to be enjoyed with family & friends
The Hampstead Kitchen provides Private Dining Experiences around the sharing concept. Saima is also a branding consultant and is involved in many philanthropic projects.
Mandy and Saima believe that food is the greatest way to promote peace, respect and unity. The simple act of sharing food connects us, encouraging understanding, conversation and finding common ground.
Come join us at this exclusive one-off event! This is a rare opportunity to taste Saima's cooking and experience her hospitality as her events are not usually open to the public.
Tickets are £55 (plus £3.23 booking fee) per person which includes all food and a welcome pitcher of soft drink for the table. Due to the sharing nature of the dishes, we recommend that tickets are bought in multiples of 2 (groups with an odd number or solo diners will be required to share their food with another party)."

Sittings at 12 noon & 230pm
