Special starting next week.
These tasty morsels in a wrap with salad and satay sauce.
Dedicated to

Fun story;
These were created in the early days of me dabbling in vegan cooking after I discovered the horrendous (lack of) choices for friends following a vegan diet.
Although I’m not a fan of this diet (long term), or any diet really, I was mortified when we went to go out for a staff meal and the options I was offered for vegan people was hot chips, rice or other fried items.
Eww.

This concerned me greatly so I decided to take up the challenge of creating nutrient dense meals that were vegan friendly but also to be enjoyed by people that don’t identify as vegan.

Over time, our menu became almost 50% plant based (the cooler term) and then when we opened
The Cook Room we decided to be 50/50 and prided ourselves on having something for everyone (if you were relatively normal and weren’t cutting out outrageous amounts of food items which seems to be another trend 😳).
Anyway!
These started off as a meat free patty for a cheese burger.
Were accidentally called falafels for a while, made it into a ‘Falafel Bowl’ that wasn’t, then jumped into a Meatball Sub.

We haven’t made these since we closed The Cook Room (except for mine and Apey’s lunch) and we’re happy to bring them back.

Made from beluga lentils, walnuts, quinoa and sun dried tomatoes and a few other secret ingredients they are seriously tasty.
Of course we soak our lentils before we cook them and then the entire mixture is left to soak overnight.
The next day, we roll and then cook to order in coconut oil.
Not nasty seed oils.

Available starting tomorrow.

Is awesome.

We got a big beautiful box of organic mushrooms so
Mushroom Stew is on the take home meals list.
Come and get it while you can, mushrooms have been a bit more difficult to get recently 😕

In other news, our lovely friends lasagne sheet maker is broken so we have no lasagne sheets to make lasagne.
The plan was to open with a big fat tray of lasagne……as usual…..things have not gone to plan.

So here we are with
Mushroom Stew
Kitchari Dahl &
Bone Broth Kitchari Dahl
to take home, heat up, add some more veggies, maybe some sides if you’re feeling it.
A beautiful organic meal, kind of made by you.

Organic, prepared properly, no vegetable oils, pure nourishment.

Here’s a little video of Scotti for everyone that’s missed her.
I had to reopen the kitchen by myself this time around
(massive job) so naturally I made some mistakes 😳
In this case, I forgot to add the raising agents to the muffins so Scotti got some for her lunch box.
She’s allowed to swear if she uses the word in the right context.
I’d say she’s nailed this one.
The muffins turned out pretty s**t.

We’re open again today
11am - 2pm.
Every day except Thursdays!

CLOSED FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

Ora will be closed for the next two weeks while staff visit families and attend weddings etc etc because it’s been soooooo long that most of the staff have seen their families.

With staff shortages, food shortages and the day-to-day craziness that seems to still be, we thought we’d shut shop and give everyone a rest.

If all goes to plan we will be reopening on Monday 18th July✌🏾

As of yesterday, our hours changed to 11am - 2pm.
A few people are sad that they didn’t get the opportunity to get their last breakfast dishes so we’ve made some compromises.
We will be serving the breakfast menu from 11am - 2pm until items run out (like pears and apples).

We will also continue making the Brekky Wrap forever.
We didn’t realize this played such an important part in some peoples lives, sorry for that.
It will stay on the lunch menu.

We will also be bringing back our Roasted Kumera.
We will try and make a soup.
And we will do our best to keep up with meals.

Our baked goods will be available also but we will just be making half batches so if you’re in need of some serious numbers, send us a DM and we can organize this for you.

We still make cakes and we’re hoping to eventually have a ‘Market’ on Sundays that we run from the shop.
Think more baked goods, staples, pastries and more.
Similar to the one a couple of years back.
Thanks for understanding our changes and we look forward to seeing you for lunch soon ✌🏾

3 days left to get
Ayurvedic Porridge.
3 days left to get Breakfast at Ora.
Our hours will be changing as of Wednesday next week.
We’ve decided to dedicate our mornings to wholesale as we see this as a better use of our time.
Not supplying any addictions (coffee or alcohol) we’re not a daily visit for most people in the morning so we’re putting our energy into making beautiful food to supply to other stores.
We will keep you posted.
As of Wednesday we will be opening at 11am.
✌🏾

We will be CLOSED TOMORROW.Thursday 19th May.Back open on Friday from 8am.

We finally have something cool to post about!

We got Pears!!!

This means Ayurvedic Porridge begins.

Produce has been fickle recently so it’s sitting as a special for now.
No pears means no porridge but we will keep it coming for as long as we can.

Bircher will stay on the menu this winter as Apples are here.

This is the only way we do oats.
Soaked overnight.
Some people say fermented, some people don’t - but at the end of the day they’re easier on your belly to digest as some of the work has been done for you already.

We do not use gluten free oats.
These don’t exist in Australia and the ones from the U.S. would make our Porridge $35 a bowl so we kindly say no to that.

Enjoy!

Previous post continued…..

I feel sad we are not in a position to stay up here for a month and help strip and clean these houses because this is what’s most needed right now.
If you have that time, get up here.
Not for a holiday, but to help.
Be cautious of Go Fund Me accounts unless they’re run by people you know.
There is already a lot of bulls**t going on in this department too.

To stay informed, follow this is what’s been pulled together by the people in just a week.
Incredible.
As says
‘Power to the People!’

Thank you again for all the help and support, we are so happy our little Ora community could contribute what we have.
Blessings to you all ✌🏿
