SWISS will be offering new meals for First and Business class.
The seasonal menus, which will be available on long-haul services from Switzerland, have been crafted by Manuel Steigmeir, chef de cuisine at FAHR restaurant in Künten.
Those flying in First class can enjoy a starter of char tartar with dill mayonnaise, cucumber and yogurt mousse. Main courses include braised veal cheeks with cremolata, cherry jus and mascarpone polenta or sauteed cod with chimichurri, creamy fregola sarda and roasted autumn vegetables. For dessert, passengers can opt for a chocolate financier.
Dishes were created at the gategourmet development kitchen in Zurich airport and tested by SWISS’ inflight development team.
Patrick Dudler, Executive Chef Product Development at gategourmet Zurich, said: “In recent years, gategourmet has been continually enriched with innovations from the different guest chefs, staying tuned with the latest culinary trends.
“This culinary programme represents a win-win situation for the three parties involved: SWISS can offer its travellers new menus designed by different starred chefs, gategourmet is continually enriched with innovations from the different guest chefs and the guest chef ultimately gets to put their name and stamp out into the world.”
