Swiss International Air Lines will offer a special menu devised by the winners of the ‘Marmite Youngster Awards 2024’, a young chef’s contest, on long-haul routes departing from Switzerland and in some airport lounges from December 4, 2024, to March 4, 2025.
As part of an effort to support the talents of young chefs for the future of the culinary world, the menu will feature dishes and desserts created by chefs Fabio Vulcano and patissier Jonathan Pichler, who were selected in the contest, along with wines chosen by sommelier Martina Wilhelmi. Additionally, aperitifs and amuse-bouches by Maître d’hôtel Lin-Anne Meyer will be served in the SWISS First Lounge at Zurich Airport.
The first class menu includes veal osso buco and cod as main dishes, and a buckwheat mousse dessert. For business class, there’s an appetizer of marinated char, brasato beef, and Swiss Alpine perch among the mains, with a hazelnut slice for dessert, while the premium economy class menu focuses on regional Swiss dishes.
Swiss International Air Lines has previously introduced Swiss culinary culture through its ‘SWISS Taste of Switzerland’ program. This initiative is part of that effort, aiming to provide high-quality in-flight meals in collaboration with its catering partner, Gate Gourmet.
