Luxury Maldives trendsetter Amilla Fushi invites
guests to venture into vegan gastronomy with award-winning Swedish food
designer and founder of Tora Flora Food, Chef Tora Olsson. From 22
October to 7 November 2019, gastronomic artist and scientist Chef Tora will
bring together science, art and a pinch of madness to create an exclusive lunch
experience at the resorts Wellness Café combining organic plant-based
ingredients with a touch of molecular gastronomy and an aesthetes finesse.
Conveying more than just healthy, sustainable meals, Olsson,

unique dining experiences to cleanse diners palates of any preconceptions
about plant-based foods. By experimenting with unusual flavour
combinations and cooking techniques, Olsson creates beautiful, tasty and
entertaining dishes that arent just salads.
Working with Amillas talented team of chefs, Tora will be
reimagining the lunch menu at the resorts energising Wellness Café at Javvu
Spa to serve up creative dishes centred on balancing wellness of the body and
mind with nutritious plant-based food inspired by the resorts surroundings.
Packed full of flavour and fresh ingredients, dishes will include the likes
of Foggy Days, smoked zucchini falafel served with chilli marinated
mixed vegetables and a creamy avocado dressing; I Do, creamy
cauliflower and almond soup with blueberry/ginger drops, topped with fresh
herbs and sparkling wine; Sea Breeze, fuchsia cauliflower, bright
green asparagus and haricots verts garnished with flowers and vegan cream
cheese; and Summer Snow, a delicate flower immersed in a strawberry
pearl with an array of marinated rhubarb twists, strawberries and caramelised
maple syrup, topped with wild strawberry snow-bubbles. Dedicated to
sourcing unprocessed seasonal ingredients and championing plant-based dishes,
many of Chef Toras creations will become permanent fixtures on the Wellness
Cafe lunch menu, complementing Javvu Spas renowned treatments to offer a
nurturing wellbeing journey for guests.
On selected nights, Chef Tora will also be hosting a molecular
vegan experience through a spectacular seven-course tasting menu for up to 30
guests. Combining food, art and science, each dish on the exclusive menu will

season. All enriched by the serene beachside bliss of the islands foodie hub
