We’re so excited to announce our new series of conversations: Curious Food, running weekly from November 🌱

Food plays a much bigger role in how we sleep, feel, move and connect than most of us realise.

Curious Food explores the fascinating relationship between food, our bodies and the way we live through different lenses, not just nutrition, but pleasure, wellbeing, performance, longevity and everyday life.

Each session brings together a leading expert and our plant-based culinary approach to explore one big question: what can food do for how we feel, function and live?

We’ll be exploring:
🍄 Sleep Food
🍆 S*x Food
🌿 Cycle Food
🍅 Longevity Food
🥬 Detox Food

Courgette cannelloni with lemon ricotta, harissa and parsley 🍋

Early October is one of those in-between periods in the kitchen where the last of the tomatoes and courgettes are waiting to be used, and there’s a shift in the air that makes you want something that feels a little heartier and more comforting - this recipe encapsulates that perfectly 🍅

This recipe puts a fresh, plant-based spin on a classic, using ribbons of courgettes as cannelloni and cashews to make a divine lemon-infused ricotta.

Made from just a few simple yet vibrant ingredients, this plant-based cannelloni is delicious, creative and comforting.

It also happens to be one of our favourite dishes to plate up in the Plant Academy kitchen as the elements can come together in so many different ways, allowing for endless possibilities.

You can find the full recipe on our Substack, Plant Notes, at the link in our bio 🌱

Smoked Broccoli Arepa 🥦

Brocolli is often dismissed and treated as a side dish, but one of our favourite things about this recipe is that it heroes broccoli in three different ways: barbecued broccoli stem, smoked florets, quick-pickled broccoli ‘gherkins’, layering incredible flavours and using the entire vegetable.

Arepa are a traditional South American dish eaten like a sandwich, and this version is made from a corn dough, loaded with various broccoli elements and dressed with a tahini sauce.

They’re perfect for a light lunch, a gathering, or a full dinner, and you can swap in your own fillings and sauces to make them completely your own.
