Plant-Based Treasures for Charity

A Gourmet Vegan Cuisine Charity Event

PETALING JAYA: People with a penchant for plant-based cuisine will find Malaysia to be a treasure trove of delights.

About the Event

This weekend, the master chef, Stephane Frelon, will be hosting “Plant-Based Treasures for Charity”, a fully plant-based live food demonstration at the Sunway Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts here.

Chef Stephane Frelon

Chef Frelon, a cuisine instructor at Sunway Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts, believes that Malaysia is a paradise for chefs. He has over 30 years of culinary experience and is a strong supporter of the vegan lifestyle.

The Event

The event is co-organised by the Vegan Society Malaysia and global NGO Veganuary, in line with Veganuary’s objective to inspire people to try a fully plant-based diet in January, and throughout the rest of the year.

Chef Frelon will be preparing a plant-based take on the classic French dish beef bourguignon, its meat replaced with locally-sourced lion’s mane mushroom. He will also use beetroot and pomegranate juice, as well as fresh grapes in its preparation, making the dish alcohol-free.

What to Expect

Guests will embark on a culinary journey with chef Frelon, as he shares insights on star ingredients unique to Malaysia and the Southeast Asia region, as well as concepts of repurposing ingredient by-products to reduce food wastage.

They can also sample a mouth-watering five-star canapes spread, and non-alcoholic beverages, freshly prepared by the chef and the diploma students of Le Cordon Bleu’s Plant-Based Culinary Arts programme.

Charity Component

Half of all proceeds from the event will be channelled towards the operation costs of Furry Friends Farm, a vegan-run, no-kill animal sanctuary in Kundang, Selangor, which looks after 500 rescued animal residents including cats, dogs, chickens, geese, goats and sheep.

Registration and Payment

Tickets are available for RM50 per pax and can be registered and paid for here.
