Take it raw!

Have you ever heard about raw food? Maybe just like us, you have, but never tried to taste or prepare it. JEFF and restaurant Labirint offered a workshop, which was a good opportunity to get to know more.

The culinary side of JEFF appeals also to those who have never attended the concerts. Among the participants we met vegans and vegetarians from different Istrian places, youngsters from high schools and also older ones (unfortunately for us without English knowledge). We experienced also the kindness of Slovenians and Hüseyin (from Germany) will soon have a Turkish – Italian language tandem.

Don’t think that we only prepared green vegetables, raw food has much more to offer! Besides salads and an anti-vampire soup (containing a fair amount of garlic), we made also many sweets, which were a pleasure to see and also perfect for dessert. During the preparation we were working all together like bees around a precious flower: there was almost no space around the table because everyone was cutting, rolling, peeling, chopping and mixing ingredients. The food stayed cold, but the place turned into a warm nest.

To us, the workshop was a lovely and short introduction to the world of raw food. Those who were not cooking at home so often, definitely got some good inspiration. And those who missed the workshop, don't need to worry, because we will give you a recipe (many thanks to Artur from KŠOK for translating the recipe).

  
Sunflower seeds spread
 
* 200g of sunflower seeds (two hours soaked in water)

Just mix everything together, at the end we can add seasonal vegetables for decoration.


You should definitely come to  the restaurant Labirint at Čevljarska 9, 6000 Koper. Next Thursday there will be a workshop about cookies. Something you don’t want to miss: the taste of good ambience and food.
