The Vegan Chef Institute | Fast track vegan chef course
A fast track vegan course to learn all the skills you need to become a professional vegan chef. The Vegan Chef Institute will try to bring you to that professional level in just 12 weeks. They will do so with hands-on practical classes in their kitchen, on topics such as: How to create recipes – a fresh take on old classics or completely new combinations to make you stand out from the crowd. How to scale recipes – so you can cook for a crowd. How to adapt recipes – veganizing dishes, and adapting them for allergies. Using specialist ingredients – taking your skills to the next level with unusual foods. And many more topics, check out their website!
Crystal Cordless Lamps
Check out the crystal cordless LED-lights at the website of The Coolhunter! These cordless, solid-glass lights are hand-crafted in Japan. Each of the three models creates a different feel and reflects light in a different way and each has three brightness levels. Another benefit over candles or small lamps is that these function perfectly on patios, terraces, balconies and outdoor tables.
Uber Eats’ Path to Delivery Domination: Restaurant Inception
Ubers’ food delivery arm is now valued by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs at a hefty $20 billion, and at just three years old, it’s expected to become profitable before the ride-sharing service (which is valued at an estimated $120 billion altogether) does. Though it’s still dwarfed by competitor GrubHub, Uber Eats is the fastest-growing food delivery app: It will serve 70 percent of the U.S. by the end of the year, targeting smaller cities and suburbs for expansion. Nice read at Eater about Uber and virtual restaurants.

Bāng Bar opened on the third floor of the Shops at Columbus Circle, an indoor mall that’s home to upscale dining like Thomas Keller’s Per Se and the country’s most expensive restaurant, sushi bar Masa.

Halo burger will open in London this December
Halo burger will pop-up at POP Brixton in London this December. They created a vegan burger joint around the already famous, Beyond Burger. We wrote about the Beyond Burger before, but in short it’s the burger made entirely from plants that “looks, cooks, tastes — and ‘bleeds’ — like a fresh beef burger. Halo’s team spent over 18 months developing “a secret seasoning” to complement the Beyond Burger, which involved multiple tastings in both California and London. Beyond Burger is available in Europe since this summer.
