“Then they were served a small beeswax cup filled with flowers and crunchy bee pollen, followed by a presentation of a large shawarma, or at least what looked like a shawarma, adorned with roasted onions and rosemary, cut tableside. Pia explained that it was not made from lamb or chicken, as is traditional, but instead from celery root and truffles, before it was cooked on a spit for hours.

"No kidding," agreed Ben, soaking up the jus with a fat slice of sourdough bread.” SavoryFermentationCopenhagenHerbalUmamiFloralPlant Based FoodsShawarma Book:Eat Post Like Source: Eat Post Like

"Potato!" she cried, her eyes darting across the table to Eamon. Eamon's eyes sparkled in return, and he submerged his face into the tiny herb garden. "Point proven, once again," he added, after coming up for air. She tried to sip it slowly, savoring the sweet flavor and velvety texture, but it was too delicious.” VeganSoupFermentationCopenhagenHerbalInside JokePotato Book:Eat Post Like Source: Eat Post Like
