Vegan 'Fish' On The Menu At Leading Sushi Restaurant
Vegan 'fish' produced by ethical food firm Redwood is now on the menu at Brighton's best-loved sushi restaurant.
Moshi Moshi, renowned for its work in fish conservation, is using the faux 'fish' in dishes such as vegan 'fish' udon and stir fry noodles.
"It's proving very popular,"
said Karl Jones of Moshi Moshi, which is keen to help protect global
fish stocks. "Customers love it - not just vegans, but the
carnivorous too. As the flavour is so good, it's a viable alternative
to real fish."
As Karl Jones points out, ethical
consumption is at the heart of everything Moshi Moshi does.
"We firmly believe in 'restorative
eating'," he says. "It's a way of eating that aims not just
to make the environment sustainable but actually restores and
improves it. Our aim is to give back more than we take.
"One way we can do this is by
decreasing our reliance on animal proteins and to eat more vegetarian
food. It's why we teamed up with Redwood."
To show just how versatile plant-based
alternatives to meat, fish and cheese can be, Moshi Moshi recently
joined forces with Redwood to launch The Great Moshi Vegan Challenge,
in which eight of Brighton's leading chefs went head to head to
create the best sushi using vegan ingredients.
Among the ingredients that particularly
impressed judges was Redwood's vegan 'duck', which was used in five
separate dishes and combined variously with mango, kale, ginger,
grapefruit, sansho pepper, boshi jelly and shiitake mushrooms.
It was also the basis for the winning
dish duck chettinad created by chef Alun Sperring, who added mango
and nut sauce and red chilli chutney to give the sushi a kick
familiar to the Indian food he serves at Chilli Pickle, named as one
of the top 50 curry houses in the UK.
"We're delighted that our foods
are capturing the imagination of chefs," said Lee Rockingham of
Redwood. "We hope many more will follow in Moshi Moshi's
footsteps."
Everything in the Redwood range is made
from natural plant-based ingredients so free from animal products and
derivatives as well as cholesterol, artificial colours/preservatives,
lactose, hydrogenated fats and GMOs. This makes them suitable not
just for vegetarians and vegans, but also for people suffering from
lactose or casein intolerance and anyone looking for a healthier and
more ethical lifestyle.
Redwood products are also kosher
certified and the company itself is halal process certified.
According to The Ethical Company
Organisation and The Good Shopping Guide, Redwood is the UK's most
ethical vegetarian foods firm. Find out more at

Whisky for Father’s Day
Father’s Day, Sunday 17 June, is an occasion to wise-up on whisky and
buy Dad his favourite. Or, for a more adventurous choice, where can you
get the best inspiration? Whichever way, you will also want to know
that you are buying smartly. Click on www.WhiskyMarketplace.co.uk
for recommendations and an easy way to buy from established online
whisky retailers. Browse all in one place and rest confident as you
save time and effort by buying at the keenest prices, and knowing that
delivery will be efficiently taken care of.
This absorbing and informative site does so much more than list prices. Enjoy the www.WhiskyMarketplace.co.uk blog; also videos of tastings presented by master distillers and behind the scenes visits with experts at different distilleries. Pierre Thiebaut of WhiskyMarketplace, and presenter on WhiskyMarketplace TV, is also a judge in the World Whisky Awards. Here he gives a few of his top recommendations. “If you know Dad’s favourite brand, he may like to try a different aged bottling from the same distillery. Or you can search by style, for example, a smokey, peaty Islay whisky or a more subtle, sweet Lowlands style. You can then easily choose from a list of choices, prices, and availability, for everyday drinking right through to rarities to collect.”
Compass Box: Great King Street ‘The Artist Blend’
“A blended whisky?” I hear you cry. Yes, but this is not any old blend. Before we get into that, let us be clear, there is nothing wrong with blended whisky; some of the greatest whiskies are blends. This little number stands head and shoulders above anything in its price range. The secret to a great dish is fine ingredients, and whisky-maker John Glaser knows that only too well. With his attention to detail and a simple, confident recipe of fine malts and grain whiskies, he has crafted a masterpiece. Around £24.

Lagavulin 16 years old
Is Dad a fan of deep peat flavours? If he already has some Laphroaig or Ardbeg stashed in the cabinet, he might just be missing this other gem from the Island of Islay, the spiritual home of the peat beasties. This whisky is rich with smoldering peat embers and a delicate touch of sweetness. It will transport him to a beach on Islay, with the moonlight glinting on the water, as the fire dies down on a summer night. Around £43.

Highland Park 21 years old
Now we are getting serious. Gentle peat, woody notes and fruits combine to produce an elegant and beautifully balanced whisky. A luxurious and rich texture delivers the wonderful flavours with aplomb. Bottled at a higher strength 47.5%, it is perfect for appreciating the subtle complexities it holds. Yes please! Around £92.

Brora 1982 ‘Connoisseurs Choice’ bottled by Gordon & MacPhail
This is one for a Dad who knows his distilleries. Brora, the most famous of the ’lost distilleries’, shut down its stills in 1983. Some of the whisky it produced still rests in casks in the dark corners of warehouses. From time to time, it gets bottled, although there is less of it about than there used to be. The price is modest for a Brora but there is more to this and other whiskies from that sadly missed distillery than just scarcity value. The whisky is as intriguingly complex as it is rare. Around £130.
