Thanks for sitting down with us. Tell us more about what did before turning into a vegan chef?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first came to Hong Kong, I was a fashion designer. I became a jewellery designer a few years later, selling my collections to different customers from across the globe. And when the economy collapsed in 2008, my customers \u2013 who were mostly in the fashion scene \u2013 cut down on accessories a lot. Since I\u2019ve always loved cooking, I thought about changing my career, and I did. And Maya Cafe happened later. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do you see the vegan scene in Hong Kong?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For me, one of the biggest problems being vegan is going out. I can only eat chips at a party, and sometimes you have to eat beforehand. Luckily, there are more and more options available in here. Pizza Express in Sai Ying Pun has recently launched pizzas with vegan cheese, which is fantastic! Whether it\u2019s the locals or people who are travelling, a lot of them are asking for vegan options \u2013 so I think the vegan movement is doing great.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155133\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155133 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-ceviche.jpg\" alt=\"Tina Barrat vegan chef interview private dinners ceviche\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-ceviche.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-ceviche.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-ceviche.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raw vegan ceviche served by Tina Barrat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>So, now your private dinners do mainly raw vegan dishes. How do you make sure raw vegan food is just as delicious and savoury as cooked meals? Do you try to mimic other flavours?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most of my customers who come to the private dinners are usually not vegan. So for them, to eat something vegan that actually resembles certain flavours in traditional dishes makes them feel more comfortable. Because when a non-vegan person looks at an all-vegan menu, I don\u2019t want them to be scared of plain salads. There is so much more in vegan cuisine. One of my latest creations is raw ravioli, the ravioli skin is made of slightly dehydrated pumpkin! <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What are some of the creative food combinations in vegan cooking that you love? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a vegan salmon dish I make, I incorporate almonds and carrots. The secret is to add some seaweed and some smoked paprika to recreate a seafood flavour, so it tastes like smoked salmon. Also, I put frankincense oil in my chocolate mousse. It\u2019s one of the most popular items on my menu, even kids who aren\u2019t fans of chocolate have told me they enjoyed it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155135\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155135\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155135 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-raw-sushi.jpg\" alt=\"Tina Barrat vegan chef interview private dinners raw sushi\" width=\"900\" height=\"591\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-raw-sushi.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-raw-sushi.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-vegan-chef-interview-private-dinners-raw-sushi.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/591;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raw vegan sushi served at Tina Barrat\u2019s private dinners<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>What\u2019s your favourite dish to make at the moment?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was a dish that I served back at Maya Cafe called Chilli Con Corn. It\u2019s a raw chili dish made of tomato, paprika, corns, avocados with chili-lime sauce made of sun-dried tomato. As the weather is changing and getting hotter, I put it on my current menu and people love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What have you done other than hosting private dinners after closing Maya Cafe?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I do cooking classes in both rented spaces and in people\u2019s homes, to teach them how to cook vegan food and make it tasty. There are a lot of books out there with great and well-elaborated recipes, but it\u2019s not that easy to recreate something so explicit or to simplify the steps. In order to eat vegan more often, it\u2019s important to start with something easier to make.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_155072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155072\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155072 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-raw-vegan-chef-interview.jpg\" alt=\"Tina Barrat raw vegan chef interview\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-raw-vegan-chef-interview.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-raw-vegan-chef-interview.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/05\/Tina-Barrat-raw-vegan-chef-interview.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-155072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tina Barrat has been a vegan chef in Hong Kong for about three years<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>We are really mad for your food!

It\u2019s a truffle sauce. I blend cashew nuts, water, truffle oil, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in a high-speed blender. It\u2019s a creamy sauce perfect as dips, or for zucchini noodles and cooked pasta.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>We\u2019re asking for this question for all the vegan food lovers in Hong Kong, will Maya Cafe return in the future? <\/b><b><i>(Fingers and toes crossed)<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, and no (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">laughs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">). If I reopen the place, I want a team. I can\u2019t work fifteen or eighteen hours a day like I used to do, my body can\u2019t take it. If there is a team, we can share the workload. My team before was fine, and some of the staff are still waiting to work with me again, but I need to find the right partner and figure out other things. So maybe it\u2019s going to happen, who knows? [The Honeycombers Hong Kong team would be more than happy to help out, Tina.
