Monday, April 27, 2015

“Educating tomorrow’s environmentalists,” is the mission of the Bermuda Zoological Society, and while impassioning and empowering students to protect and conserve the environment is important, it is equally important to the BZS to educate adults — especially those who are teaching the next generation. We desire to provide them with the understanding and skills to help them set an example of how to make a difference for our natural world

Azu Beastro: Introducing Arugula and Chef Sam Crew
Bermuda Zoological Society
Wednesday, July 01, 2015

By Sara Westhead

From the fresh local farm produce, to the fresh herbs being grown right on the café’s patio overlooking Harrington Sound, diners at the Azu Beastro are certain to be delighted with the delectable options being created by the restaurant’s new concession holder, Arugula.

Arugula is owned and operated by Chef Sam Crew. Her team recently took over the concession and are already delighting people with an offering of fine, fresh food options. 

Chef Sam has an amazing background – she has been in the catering business for the last 14 years, during which time she has worked as a corporate and personal chef, catering to corporations, private households and estates in Europe, North America, Australia, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

When Chef Sam returned to Bermuda two years ago, she quickly began building relationships with on island providers in order to serve the very best Bermudian sourced food from local farmers (like Tom Wadson of Wadson’s Farm), divers and fishermen, and this association soon led to the creation of Arugula, operated with business partner Laura Martin-Stout.

“I like to use good, local food,” Chef Sam explained. “I want for the produce to speak for itself.” The new menu has been designed to offer diners with seasonally fresh foods and light flavours, so that they can have an enjoyable meal without feeling stuffed at the end.”

“It is nice, healthy food and it is clean. I think that it is a good merge with our new location at BAMZ,” she added, especially as they offer a selection of sustainable, environmentally-friendly and healthy options.

Even the children’s menu has a number of kid-tested healthy options, and she is also going to be offering a selection of fresh juice options. The café is open seven days a week from 9am to 4pm.
