Your Glos and Wilts Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 19)

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD Please can you give us some new ideas for wedding catering? I am vegan and my hubby-to-be is vegetarian and many of the wedding breakfast menus still seem to offer a lot of meat dishes. Sally says: The popularity of the vegan wedding menu continues to rise with many couples opting for only vegan or vegetarian options. There are so many creative chefs on the foodie scene now preparing tasty, innovative dishes. Popular vegan ones include: Charred cauliflower with fresh gremolata on a sweet potato and chickpea picadillo Verrine pineapple and lime compote, mango aqua faba mousse and fresh raspberries More and more, couples are requesting local, ethical and organic produce in order to reduce their environmental impact. They are moving away from the traditional sit down wedding breakfast towards food stations, street food and sharing platters all of which will be a big part of weddings throughout 2020. Interactive eating is also emerging where guests can build their own desserts such as Eton mess. This is a fun, sociable way to eat. Personalised alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails are often being requested for the toast.
