London's The Frog E1 will soon be hosting a special Easter pop-up event called 'Easter at E1' that will give the public a taste of dishes expertly crafted by Masterchefs Jamie Park and Matt Campbell.
Glazed hams, lamb roasts and eggs may be some of the most celebrated foods of the Easter holiday, but the pop-up will serve an exclusively plant-based menu. The six-course feast will prominently feature fresh produce grown at The Frog E1's farm in West Sussex, in the form of dishes like carrot hot dogs and celeriac tacos.
Across the UK, a number of non-vegan restaurants have been spotlighting plant-based eats as healthy and inventive new options. While The Frog E1 does serve meat and neither chef is vegan, Park notes: "I've been putting plant-based dishes on the menu at The Frog E1 for a while now, and people don't even realize that they're completely meat- and dairy-free."
