Me too.
Can you count the calories for me Libby

Most of the food is pretty low calorie, the highest probably being the Bondas as they are deep fried. Because the recipes are vegan no dairy is used, that always pushes the calorie count up (from what I remember of my calorie counting days). The yoghurt is soya and the use of cane sugar is kept to a minimum.
I should point out that this cafe is in a heath and therapy centre where most of the customers look after their bodies, if you know what I mean!

What a lovely menu. But there's no meat in it?????? |

Lloyd, you are very naughty, always asking the same question. It's a vegetarian cafe, you can find a definition here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarian! 
Incidentally, a lot of the customers are meat eaters but love the fresh taste of food without meat, one comment last night "it's orgasmic!" I'll get the recipes sorted out, I've only just finished work after getting home at gone midnight last night. |
