So remember last week we were eating Lamb’s Brains and downing Oyster Shooters as part of a special tasting menu night at Ukiyo Bar?

This Sunday the 16th, a special Raw Foods night will kick off around 7pm at Ukiyo on Exchequer Street and will follow the same theme as the Evolution of the Ciaran Crawford Acion Figure Doll night.  Not only will there be a six course tasting menu, but you will also be treated to entertainment in the form of live music and spoken word.

The emphasis this Sunday is on cooking with entirely raw produce.  Have a gander at the menu below to see what kind of ingenious treats Natasha Czopor, the chef of the evening, has in store for you.  All raw!

with marigold, thyme, oregano, mint flowers, fennel and basil leaves,

hemp seed hearts, marinated with cold pressed olive oil, lemon and Himalayan crystal salt with a dressing of red pepper and creamed sprouted sunflower seeds

Now, does that, or does that not, all sound amazing?

As with the previous night, the food will set you back €40 and you can add to the experience by putting in anadditional €20 for a five course wine tasting, especially suited to your meal.
