Ratatouille provides food for thought at The Collection Children may think of it as a modern cartoon film about a hungry rodent, but there is a lot more to Ratatouille than meets the eye. Samples of this continental casserole will be available at the Glorious Food event at The Collection later this month. Ratatouille is the perfect way to keep the kids entertained for FREE during their half-term break. And whilst they are there, they can learn about some of the healthy foods that are on show. The Café Rendez-Vous at The Collection will be serving up some delicious vegetarian and vegan food throughout the day. The Lincoln Vegetarian and Vegan Society will have one of several stalls at the event, and will be promoting the diversity of healthy eating. They will be proving that healthy food can be fun and will be giving people an idea of what it is like to be a vegetarian or vegan. The event will also be showcasing the good work of Lincoln’s Healthy Hub, a café that offers visitors a wide choice of healthy and wholesome foods. The hub is also a registered charity that provides jobs for disadvantaged people. Linda Wardale of the Lincoln Vegetarian and Vegan Group said: “We are hoping to talk to people about what it is like being a vegetarian or vegan, and the principles behind our way of life, and to also show that healthy food isn’t boring and can be fun. “We hope that everyone will take away some of the enthusiasm and fun that we as vegetarians and vegans in Lincoln share in our everyday lives and that the food samples available on the day will help to prove that healthy food can be fun”. The ‘Glorious Food’ event will offer visitors the chance to try revolting Roman foods, taste ‘17th Century’ chocolate, see demonstrations of African cuisine. It takes place at The Collection in Danesgate on Tuesday 17 February, and will be open from 10am until 4pm.
