Fragrant Thai Rice Bowl – This one dish is all you need for main course because it packs such a brilliant punch.

Festive meals can be healthy and this menu is testimony for that. A bright refreshing chilled soup, veggie burger and two kinds of luscious berry popsicles – this super food menu makes zero compromise on taste!

 

Chilled Beetroot Apple SoupFull of antioxidants from the colourful ingredients this soup is actually served warm, but keeping with the weather outside we suggest you do a chilled version because it tastes just as great if not better!

 

Wild Mushrooms in oat cups – Crunchy edible oat cups with an earthy herbed wild mushroom-crunchy walnut mixture siting in them – this party starter is superfood paradise and will be flying off the rack in minutes – so make a big batch.
