The food wizard

It’s about time I wrote something extra great about this man on our site. Alain Indria from Lombardia. I think by now it’s safe to say that I can consider him a good friend. When times got rough, Alain helped me out with a job, working at this amazing place and when all fell apart around our previous band (.calibre), he was the guy that helped me get back on my feet and try to look at stuff from other angles. We don’t see enough of each other cause he’s busy and I’m busy and we never seem to get around to socializing anywhere else but at Lombardia, but still it feels like I can turn to him when I need some extra push. And I like that. I hope he knows he can count on me in the same way.

Anyhow. Veggie, vegan, raw, … it’s all possible. And more importantly it’s always organic and non industrial. Tailor made, if you require so. I just started hanging out here many years ago for the excellent variation in vegan foods and his new stuff still impresses the hell out of me. He truly is the food wizard, coming up with new, exciting stuff all the time. Sometimes, stuffing me full of foods as a guinae pig (as long as it’s free and veggie, I’ll down it) and I must say, I never tasted anything I didn’t like. So if you’re a veggie or a health freak or if you have any kind of food allergy, talk to Alain and his mom Odette, and they will show you ways to turn even the most restricted diet into a banquet.

Part of the production budget for our first asoQ recordings (the mastering to be exact) was provided by Alain because he could see we were in a jam. I still consider this a great gift which we really needed at the time to help us finish the recordings. To thank him we recorded this whack demo song for his most popular invention: gingerlove, a hot beverage based on herbs and fruit. (gingerlove.be).
