If you haven't heard of zero-waste, subscription based Indian take-away service @dabbadrop, you're missing out on something truly special.
As passionate foodies and busy mums Anshu and Renée loved getting a takeaway but hated the greasy gruel and plastic pile-ups that followed. In 2018 they went on a mission to create a better alternative and using heirloom family recipes from across South Asia they created DabbaDrop, a 100% plant-based, takeaway service delivering delicious, emission-free (the ‘drop’)dishes in reusable tiffin tins (the ‘dabba’).
As purveyors of great tasting, nutritious, environmentally conscious food, the Made In Hackney team have been fans of DabbaDrop for years - enjoying their delicious dishes, bold flavours and reusable tiffin-tins. Our founder Sarah Bentley describes it as, “One of the best take-aways in London. Banging flavours, clean but still satisfying, and no plastic waste afterwards. Perfect.”
We’re therefore elated to welcome Anshu and Renée for this special online fundraising class. They’ll guide you through each step of the DabbaDrop cooking process, answer your questions and provide personalised tips and techniques along the way.
This online webinar will include:
About DabbaDrop
DabbaDrop is the brainchild of Anshu Ahuja and Renée Williams, Hackney neighbourhood friends who bonded over their love of cooking and a desire to make a small difference to the planet and for their children.
Anshu is a Mumbai-born passionate home cook who, following a career in TV production, was a finalist on the incubator scheme, Kitchenette, that allowed her to launch the pop-up Indian tapas concept, Pao Wow, to critical acclaim at Stevie Parle’s Dock Kitchen.
New Zealand native Renee has 12 years’ experience with a background in restaurant operations and design, as well as events production at Soho House, Caprice Holdings and Caravan restaurants.
Anshu and Renee brought together their complementary skills to develop DabbaDrop in November 2018. In Summer 2021 Marie Claire magazine awarded DabbaDrop the winner of the ‘Best Sustainable Food Delivery Initiative’.
