Smarter Fitter Supperclub Recap and Recipes

April 13, 2014 · By Monica Shaw

Fwd:

Last night was my first ever Smarter Fitter Supperclub held here at my digs in the Cotswolds featuring a vegan, raw, gluten-free theme. There were 11 of us in total, and what fun it was having so many like-minded and adventurous people over to try some of my creations, share ideas, drink wine and have some great chat. It went amazingly well and I hope all of my guests had as much fun as I did. The stand-out dishes seemed to be the beetroot and walnut dip, sweet potato kofte, raw raspberry cheesecake and, funny enough, the “Juicer Dreg Crisps” I made in the dehydrator with leftover juicer pulp.

My only regret is not taking enough pictures! The only pictures I did take were of the beverages (which might explain a thing or two).

Infusing. #tequila

Will I do it again? I think so! The social opportunities alone make it worthwhile – I met some really interesting people and made a few new friends. Plus, it was great hanging out with people who are actually local to me – something I don’t do as much as I’d like to.

So I’m thinking a summertime veggie BBQ camp. Any interest?

The menu from last night is below, with links to a few recipes for some favourite dishes.

    It’s sounds a blast, such a great idea! Love, love, love the menu! What was the strawberries and jalapeños? Was there tequila in there?

      Yes! That was the infused tequila for the margaritas. Would love to see you at the next one, Jayne. 🙂

    Wow! What a stunning, stunning menu! You must’ve been knackered preparing all of that, but happy too. Enjoy your Highland adventure. I will peruse your tasty links over the next wee while. Too hungry for breakfast to delve further just now 😉
