Vegan interpretations of traditional dishes will become part of our food culture in the future. This is the conclusion of trend researcher Hanni Rützler. In addition to new high-tech imitations of meat and fish, meat-free adaptations of classic dishes that do not require complicated lists of ingredients are also shining. The still popular bowls, for example, can be perfectly “veganized” – whether sweet or savoury, breakfast or lunch snack.

Healthy snacking

Now possible without animal ingredients: vegetables, fruit or salad, nuts or seeds are perfect for a quick snack. Then there are filling foods such as quinoa, couscous or bulgur, which offer plenty of scope. And then we mustn't forget the so-called superfoods: Avocado, pomegranate or chia seeds, for example, are very popular with health-conscious gourmets. The regional alternatives are beet, linseed or kale. With imagination and creativity, delicious plant-based alternatives can be created - in the form of healthy snacks, sophisticated variety or favorite childhood memories.

The diverse future of meat consumption

Meat is losing its role as the leading product of our food culture - at least in the visions of innovative food technologists and investors as well as in the vegan discourse on “proper” nutrition. Plant-based food has become one of the most important food trends of our time. In addition to plant-based products, other alternatives such as alt-protein and cell-cultured food, which are becoming increasingly similar to meat and fish in terms of taste and texture, are now on the horizon.

Aromahopping

Where craftsmanship, passion, and flavor journeys meet

With the opening of its new distillery in Mosbach, Aromahopping is sending a strong signal about the future of artisanal spirits. Between extraordinary gin compositions, creative tastings, and a high-caliber supporting program, it became clear what makes the Odenwald brand so special: attention to detail, curiosity about new flavors, and a passion for honest craftsmanship.

Twice as sustainable

How the TafelBox makes appreciation visible

Takeaway without a guilty conscience – and with social added value: since its relaunch in 2024, the TafelBox has become one of the most effective tools against food waste in Austria. The simple principle: guests take leftover food home with them – and at the same time donate to a good cause. For every box sold, 20 cents go directly to Die Tafel Österreich to provide people affected by poverty with rescued food.
