SWISS has introduced the latest meals in its "SWISS Taste of Switzerland" inflight foodservice programme for First and Business Class passengers on its long-haul services from Switzerland.
From September 6, the airline will offer cuisine from Canton Geneva, created by Olivier Jean, the executive chef at the luxury The Woodward hotel.
The select and original creations will be served for the next three months.
SWISS Business passengers can look forward to dishes including poached char with lemongrass sauce, sesame sushi rice, sugar snap peas and roasted squash. SWISS First passengers will be served the likes of miso-marinated pike-perch with port wine sauce, baked polenta, shallot confit and pak choi.
“We are delighted to offer our inflight guests the sophisticated creations of L’Atelier Robuchon at the five-star The Woodward hotel,” said SWISS’s Head of Brand Experience Julia Hillenbrand in a September 6 press release. “In Olivier Jean we have secured the services of one of the best culinary ambassadors of Canton Geneva. And as The Airline of Switzerland, we are particularly pleased to welcome the ‘Romandie’ back aboard.”
SWISS Premium Economy passengers on services from Switzerland can opt for a three-course meal featuring specialities from the Geneva region, such as a main course of Geneva-style chicken with spätzli and green beans.
In its 20-year success story to date, ‘SWISS Taste of Switzerland’ has welcomed aboard 81 guest chefs representing every one of Switzerland’s 26 cantons. Every three months a new Michelin-starred and GaultMillau-point top chef is invited to create a varied selection of top-quality dishes from their ‘home’ canton, with a particular focus on regional and seasonal specialities. The meals are also accompanied by wines and cheeses from the region concerned.
