It's been said that changing a person’s diet is harder than changing their religion—and when it comes to the human appetite for meat, this rings especially true. Unfortunately, this preference has serious environmental consequences. Livestock farming accounts for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is a major driver of deforestation and water pollution.
At Glimpse, we were thrilled to discover Chef Elijah, who curated an unforgettable vegan degustation at the Chef’s Table in the Emerald Room. This immersive experience featured a six-course meal that was nothing short of extraordinary, showcasing wild foraged and locally sourced ingredients, some even harvested from another Glimpse experience at Mark’s urban micro farm!
Elijah broke any preconceived notions that plant-based cuisine is limited or basic. From leek shanks with pepita miso to dandelion sundae with wattleseed ice magic, each dish was a masterful blend of creativity, innovation, and pure flavour that left our senses enchanted.
We’re proud to have Elijah as a Glimpse host, where he offers coastal foraging tours. Reach out if you would like Elijah to make your next team outing or private social event special!
