Inspired by his daughter who does not consume foods of animal origin, chef Diogo Sacilotto has collaborated with products of plant origin
Replace meat with produce plant based and turning usually meat-based dishes into a vegetarian recipe isn’t always an easy feat. But that was the task chef Diogo Sacilotto, Masterchef Professionals champion, decided to devote himself to.
The chef decided to create new dishes for his restaurant La Crosta Forneria, an Italian house in the northern area of São Paulo. The new project was developed in collaboration with global plant-based food technology, NotCo.
The new menu will be launched this Monday (20th), with a special opening for dinner, and will be available for a month. The date was chosen because it commemorates World Meat Free Day, which has existed since 1985 and aims to raise awareness of the impacts of meat consumption around the world.
Among the dishes, the smoked watermelon carpaccio with aioli sauce, PDO balsamic vinegar and non-animal mayonnaise (R$59) and the fig and toffee cannoli made with a dairy-free cream (R$35).
Sacilotto talks about what can be expected from the dishes that were inspired by his 20-year-old daughter, Giovanna, who does not consume food of animal origin and has always encouraged him to think of a vegetable menu: “I tried to explore combinations with herbs , vegetables and techniques that have brought new characteristics to the product, as in the case of watermelon carpaccio, which has a consistency very close to meat”
