Back with us at the Bonnington Café for his regular Vegan Thursdays is former longtime resident cook Misiek, whose Polish-influenced dishes are bursting with seasonal flavours!

Newish to the Bonnington Café are Twodogs’ Jen and Vic, who are bringing US vegetarian comfort food with a British accent.

It’s all the food you’ve heard about from America and the local, regional things you might not have. Cooked from scratch using seasonal British ingredients. Incorporating elements of British cuisine. Their food is fun, tasty and gives respect to both nations’ history and food cultures.

The Benefit Banquet is a fundraising night for local, Ishan Mohair-Stokes’ debut show – Elba.

Elba is a physical theatre multi-media show about a community that is taken for granted. Exploring themes of gentrification, community and power. Can one man really change the fortunes of an entire island?

The Benefit Banquet will be a three-course South Asian Vegetarian meal, with all proceeds going towards the finding of the show.

Elba @ The Bridge House Theatre, Penge 28th July – 1st August.

Hind is from Syria and came here six years ago. She studied philosophy in Syria and wanted to find a new home. It was hard for her to feel like she belonged in a different country. She thought about how to create a place that felt like home. Hind decided to use cooking to show her culture. She started making her mom’s recipes and really liked cooking. She added her own ideas and then started her own business called Utopia.

Isa’s cooking celebrates vegetables, draws on citrus and uses olive oil and herbs in abundance. She learnt to cook at an Ashram ten years ago, discovering food as a medium for nourishment beyond the body. Her food is vibrant and draws on slow food movement influences to draw out flavour and subtlety from each ingredient.
