Veganism is here and it’s difficult to overcome through convenient clichés, because it has some uncomfortable truths on its side. We could write an entire essay on its importance, which is not just about what you eat, but is largely related to the ethics, health, environment and lifestyle you follow in general. What I will tell you, as a personal experience, is that the “eat meat to get fit” occupant syndrome is light years away from reality – you can discover meals and flavors you never imagined, as long as you are in the mood to explore them. That’s on the philosophical part, because in practice, Mama Tierra in Exarchia serves daily gastronomic wonders that are prepared with fanatical attention to the raw material, and who have even received distinction from the (absolute) Michelin guide. Let’s take the things from the beginning.
Mama Tierra’s philosophy (meaning “mama earth” in Spanish), is that tasty, healthy and quality cuisine should be accessible to all – so offer it generously in well-priced dishes that have the “familiarity” of food culture us (eat vegan moussaka with coconut milk béchamel or eggplant soutzoukaki with homemade tomato sauce and you will remember me!) but also in suggestions that reinvent the classic gastronomy and triumph. The wide variety of nutritious and delicious meals that one can get from a vegetarian and vegan cuisine is really amazing. Chef Polash Alam looks back on memories, experiences and flavors from every corner of the globe to create healthy choices that will be unforgettable. Traditional Indian dishes, such as vegetable crust (various vegetables mixed with homemade curry sauce and coconut milk) and dal (yellow and red lentils, cooked in a homemade spice-spice mix) are options that will be tasted first by the eye, then the nose and finally the palate. . Burger with a burger made from a mixture of fresh champignon mushrooms, ribs, spices and organic oats, in whole grain bread, with vegetable cheese, tomato, caramelized onion, lettuce and vegan homemade mayonnaise – if you are an initiate you understand everything again they sound “foreign” to you, one thing I will tell you: try it and you will not lose. Mama Tierra’s inspirational dishes come with refreshing salads, delicious appetizers, soups, juices, smoothies and pastries for a complete vegan culinary experience,
Simple, with its white tiles, bronze details, clay decorations, Mama Tierra comes to mix vegetarians and vegans, who here experience unique pleasures – but encouraging all the rest of us to taste dishes prepared with passion and love. Everything at Mama Tierra is prepared in-house, while now on Sundays they will host themed menus from the world cuisine… with a vegan twist. Nothing is more relevant than the importance of taking care of our planet for future generations while nothing is more crucial to one’s health than what one eats. As long as this awareness is strengthened in our minds and hearts, so much veganism will unfold its range and possibilities for full, healthy and filling meals, which excel at Mama Tierra.
