Monty's of Kathmandu Cooking Class

I love Monty's! There's a branch in Temple Bar and another in Rathgar. The Rathgar branch is hosting cooking classes later this year and seems a bargain to me for an hour and a half masterclass with a 3 course meal and half a bottle of wine afterwards. Monty's have an extensive vegetarian menu with some vegan options. Their value menu (just under €20 for a three course meal) is amazingly good value too! If anyone is interested in the cooking classes, information is available here. I'm not sure how applicable it is to vegans, but I'm sure it would be an interesting insight into Nepalese cuisine all the same.

My Favourite Visitor

My father came over for a few days and we ate some lovely food - including gorgeous bhajis and curries from Monty's of Kathmandu, sandwiches and salads from Blazing Salads and a load of homecooked stuff.......... but did I take any photos? NO! I didn't! I am officially absolutely hopeless! I suppose it just demonstrates what an amazing time I was having with my father, I really don't get to see him as often as I'd like to. I'm very close to him, he's one of the greatest people on this planet! I am pleased to say that my omnivore father enjoyed all of my vegan cooking (including the chilli non carne and broccoli soup I have mentioned here before), and he even had tempeh and veggie skewers at our barbecue as well as a few vegan cereal bars, flapjacks, chocolates and raw seed & nut cakes throughout the duration of his stay. We also visited the new milkshake bar. I had a vegan soya ice cream shake with peanut butter and bourbon biscuits - it was lovely! A bit pricey at just under 5 euros though, so I think if I want one I'll be making them at home in future. I really wish they had more vegan choices on their menu, I might suggest a few things to them! My father had the Fererro Rocher shake, it's his favourite chocolate so he was quite happy about that... Here are some random photos from his visit :)
