“UK households throw away 4.5 million tonnes of food each year that could have been eaten, the equivalent of 10 billion meals.”
Ana Santi & Company, Three Things
Rock My Bowl is a boutique catering company producing beautiful, nourishing food for shoots and small events. Offering a mainly plant-based menu, the company cooks seasonally from scratch wherever possible.
With sustainability in mind, Rock My Bowl does not aspire to create a mass-produced product. Instead, the focus is on supplying small artisan cafes, lifestyle stores, production companies and others who share the same core values.
“We tend to look at the week’s bookings and then order a big batch of seasonal veg and build menus around that. Literally nothing gets thrown away in the kitchen. We use veggie leaves for soups, bread ends for croutons and all the odds and ends go into stock.
“We have decided to go completely plant based in the kitchen by the end of 2021. We are 80% there anyway, but for the planet, our health and in the interest of sustainability, it’s the way forward.”

Whilst the cauliflower is baking make your sauce,
Have all the ingredients to hand. Roughly chop the onions and peel and cut the carrots into rounds. Heat the oil in a large casserole or cast iron pan. Add the onion and carrots to the pan, and cook just until crisp tender, about 6-8 minutes. Then add the curry paste and turmeric. Stir to combine, breaking up the curry paste, about 1 minute. Lastly add the coconut milk and lime leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the curry has thickened and the vegetables are done, about 8-10 minutes.
