Sustainable South Asian-inspired takeaway brand DabbaDrop is getting the chance to flex its knowledge of flavour in a live online cooking demonstration on the Jamie Oliver’s Cookery School website.
Tickets are now on sale to cook along with Co-Founders Renee Williams and Anshu Ahuja on 16th September between 7pm and 9:30pm and virtual attendees will learn how to whip up some of their most popular dishes in their 2-hour virtual cooking class: house dal, tofu makhani with peas, mango chutney slaw and a batch of pickled onions.
Anshu said: “We are thrilled to be cooking virtually at the Jamie Oliver Cookery School and can’t wait for people to join us on the night for a fun lesson in South Asian cooking. Recipes like these are inspired by my family meals growing up in Mumbai and we’re excited to share them with attendees.”
DabbaDrop is the UK’s first closed-loop takeaway brand and works on a subscription basis with customers receiving a homemade, plant-based South-Asian-inspired takeaway either each week or every two weeks. The food is also packaged in a three-tiered stainless steel Dabba tin to eliminate wasted plastic packaging which customers can also reuse. Since the brand’s beginnings in 2018, it has saved over 142,580kg of plastic from being sent to landfill.
Renee added: “DabbaDrop was born from our love of food and the community feel surrounding meals with family and friends. This came hand in hand with our mission to be a little kinder to the environment so we set out to make DabbaDrop the place to be for foodies in East London looking to treat themselves to a takeaway in an eco-conscious way.
“We are looking to take DabbaDrop London-wide and then multi-city throughout the UK over the next couple of years and we’re delighted that we’ll be able to showcase our delicious plant-based menu in September with the Jamie Oliver Cooking School.”
Priced at £35 per attendee, ingredients needed to cook along with Anshu and Renee are listed so attendees can be ready to get stuck in and try their hand at plant-based cooking.
Anshu said: “Our whole menu at DabbaDrop is plant-based as the meat industry is responsible for a large percentage of the world’s carbon emissions. We want to show you don’t need a meat-laden meal for it to be full of flavour as we make fantastically tasty dishes with vegetables as the star of the show. We hope that attendees cooking along with us will be inspired to try their hand at including a couple of meat-free meals per week to see what delicious delights they can come up with.”
