Straw wars

Mildreds has joined the strawwars, the idea is simple, it aims to either get rid of straws completely or provide a straw only when requested by a customer.
We have chosen to join this movement as billions of straws are discarded every year, filtering into landfill and littering the oceans.  This is extremely detrimental to the environment, as plastics cant biodegrade, they last indefinitely, breaking down into smaller pieces, feeding into the food chain and potentially ending up on our dinner plates.  there's food for thought.

not only have we decided to join this movement but are also now only providing customers with Bio-degradable drinking straws when requested.

Mildreds 

45 Lexington Street, London W1F 9AN

 

At this cosy and busy vegetarian restaurant in Soho, you might expect dishes such as the organic energising detox salad, but not hearty burgers and fries. The chef makes a daily special with whatever fresh vegetables, herbs and spices he chooses, so you’ll never eat the same recipe twice. With a soya protein base and a crunchy outside, it’s great for vegetarians fed up with sloppy, disintegrating patties or a Portobello mushroom in a bun. Beetroot and Mexican-style burgers are among diners’ favourites, and all varieties are vegan, unless you add cheese. Another popular upgrade is sweet potato fries – wedges with crispy skin and sea salt. The accompanying basil mayonnaise – a secret vegan recipe – is absolutely delicious.

Salad Bar

with our salad bar proving to be a great new feature here at Mildred's, alongside the daily hot specials,  we are continually changing the salads and specials on offer to give customers a variety of ever changing healthy options, including vegan and wheat free choices.

if you haven't  yet come down to try some of the salads and specials on offer, do pop in as you wont be disappointed.

Salad Bar open:

Monday - Friday

12 midday - 3:30pm

We will be continuing the, salad bar, daily hot specials and take-away service from Mildreds Restaurant. 

Dancing Wonton Flowers ...

Thank you very much for visiting this blog. It has been close to a year since I last post ...

Cooking can be a great way to express our personality, exercise our creativity and explore new things. Feel like getting in touch with my cooking skills yesterday. Sitting quietly in my kitchen with very few ingredients, enjoying the solitude, playing with the tofu and feeling the texture of the wonton skin, having expectations of what will turn out to be ...

And ... these little dancing wonton flowers just bloom ... 18 of them dancing gracefully on the plate. 

Looking closely at them, the curve, the lightness, the flow, the soft folding of the wonton flower, it is so beautiful and each of them is so unique! Maybe, I learn to see perfection in everyone of them and all of them look lovely. I smile. 

It's mediation, it's quiet and it is lovely.  Had an enjoyable time. 

May you be happy any time regardless whatever you are doing right now, be it cooking, washing dishes, reading, handing out with friends or alone enjoying the solitude ...
