Food Glorious Food in London
I just spent a few days in London with my husband, enjoying impressive exhibitions, dizzying shopping and of course, glorious food.
Travel is always an opportunity to try new food so I took some photos for a little culinary inspiration!
A big trend at the moment in healthy food is the Vegan Raw Food Movement where food is not cooked above 42 degrees centigrade to preserve nutrients and enzymes. I find the focus on plant-based, unprocessed foods very appealing and was curious to try a restaurant serving only raw foods. If you are interested, I share some of my tried and tested recipes for raw desserts here.
Lets start with some raw food photos:
Raw crackers create an avocado ‘sandwich’ @ 42 Raw
Raw food restaurant 42 Raw
Noodles made from shredded carrots and zucchini instead of pasta were surprisingly good @ 42 Raw
Raw chocolate cake @ Down to Earth Café
And here are photos of some more delicious food:
Vegetarian Pad Thai @ Wagamama
Grilled vegetarian dumplings @ Wagamama
Quinoa with a Halloumi cheese and pepper pie at Down to Earth Café
A healthier English breakfast at Down to Earth Café
Sweet potatoes Indian style @ Chakra
In addition to eating well, we also explored Whole Foods Market, the American health-mecca, and Borough Market, one of the best food markets I have ever been to. Here are some photos of Borough Market:

Hi Hiba, I can tell you how to make them
And you know what I learned at the class as well? There is a restaurant here in Basel that offers a raw food menu! The owner also took the same class… So next time you come, we can go there, if you like!
Oh la la, so many appetizing dishes
Would love to taste the raw chocolate cake… and your post made me missing London!!
I’m drooling….
Hi Julia! your class sounds great, I would love to learn how to make raw zucchini pasta
wow, sounds like you had a lot of fun!! I have just been to a raw food “cooking” class on Saturday and we learned how to make raw zucchini pasta with tomato sauce
I’ll post about it on my blog one of these days…
It is very good – a good alternative to pasta
and yes, lets try it soon!
I am intrigued by the Vegan Raw Food Movement … especially the shredded carrots and zucchini pasta.
Let’s try that soon!
