Supercharger

Edit 15/04/2018: Supercharger has closed inward the past times week.

September 5, 2014

We've been to a greater extent than baffled than enticed past times the novel Emporium shopping complex inward the city, but intelligence of a vegan eating theatre on facebook managed to depict us in. Supercharger lacks an online presence of its ain for the minute but possessor Paul Mathis helped us out on twitter, informing us that they're opened upward until 7pm every twenty-four hr menses in addition to through until 9pm Thursdays in addition to Fridays. That gave us enough of chance to sneak inward for dinner earlier a movie.

Once you lot detect it IRL (tucked behind Jimmy Grants on score 3), the Supercharger MO is clear - fresh mix'n'match vegan bowls, beverages in addition to desserts. Though in that place isn't clear dietary labelling, each dish's refer is pretty instructive in addition to nigh everything looked to endure gluten-free. Bowls rootage amongst a grain or spinach base, in addition to thence it's fourth dimension to select 3-5 extras ($10-14) - veges served raw, smashed, fermented or simmered.

I started amongst a steamed quinoa base of operations in addition to built upward light-green peas in addition to avocado smashed amongst lime, kokosnoot crude oil in addition to mint, some gently fermented cauliflower amongst dark sesame, in addition to thinly sliced seitan braised amongst shiitake mushrooms.

Meanwhile Michael ploughed through steamed dark-brown rice, a raw blend of beetroot, carrot, radish in addition to ginger amongst Bragg's apple tree cider, a strike of sugariness spud in addition to broccoli amongst tahini in addition to barley, a yellowish parnsip khadi amongst coconut, turmeric, lemongrass, galangal in addition to lime, summation lightly caramelised tempeh inward tamari.

We didn't intend nosotros wanted a potable but the jars of apple, lemon, makrut/kaffir lime in addition to lemongrass ($8) looked besides skilful to lady friend - this was blended upward for us on the topographic point for maximum touching on (... in addition to blended makrut lime leaves arrive at brand quite the citrussy impact!).

We ordered jars of the 2 available desserts to takeaway - raw cocoa mousse amongst kokosnoot agar in addition to berries on top, in addition to a huckleberry cashew 'cheesecake' amongst a jammy overstep in addition to a date-and-nut base of operations ($5 each). They're definitely some of the smoother, tastier raw desserts around. The jars were dandy for packing but less tardily to swallow from, causing mucilaginous fingers in addition to struggles to attain the base of operations (maybe shallower receptacles would move better?).

We were otherwise really impressed past times Supercharger. All the nutrient was inward rude wellness fifty-fifty towards the halt of their shift, amongst the colouring cloth in addition to compaction of create simply picked. The prices mensurate upward favourably against other bowl-based vego venues around town. When nosotros desire a quick repast inward the metropolis nosotros typically telephone telephone on Shandong Mama, but Supercharger volition stand upward out every bit a fresher alternative.

Seitan gyros & lemon potatoes

At dwelling household we're cooking novel recipes less frequently, but our success charge per unit of measurement is high. Seitan gyros were good worth pulling upward from the deepest pages of my bookmarks - they're a flake of effort, but they include the most flavourful seitan we've made together with generate fabulous leftovers for lunch. Other dishes working their agency into our weeknight rotation include one-pot orrecchiette, baked peanut tempeh, together with kimchi fried rice alongside smokey tempeh & broccoli.

I've long idea of icecream equally my cooking specialty, together with a caramelised white chocolate icecream unexpectedly won Michael's high praise concluding summer. Yet pies are creeping upward equally a sugariness novel seam to mine: concluding twelvemonth I was all close cherry pie, together with this twelvemonth I made a duo of honey, miso & walnut pies.

But there's no involve to limit myself, right? There are nonetheless together with hence many dissimilar recipes together with novel eateries to bear witness every year. We'll aim to kicking the bucket on bringing you lot the best of 'em inwards 2019.
