More and more guests are following a flexitarian diet and want healthy, climate-friendly and tasty alternatives to meat. There is no need to sacrifice the protein, feel and taste of meat. Tips on how to impress guests with plant-based alternatives and serve dishes where no one misses the meat.

How to turn healthy into delicious

Make vegetables the star
Put more and more varied vegetables on your plate. Eggplant, portobello mushrooms and many types of root vegetables are hearty and can make a convincing starter or even main course. This way you also save on expensive meat.
Swap out protein sources
Reduce the amount of red meat on your menu and offer plant-based protein alternatives. In US cuisine, this is called a protein flip. For healthier and more sustainable food.
Serve superfoods
There has long been no getting around superfoods. Take advantage of the trend and give your culinary creations healthy superhero status: with quinoa, blueberries, cabbage, chia, green tea, broccoli, beans and much more.
Playing with relationships
It doesn't always have to be a lot of meat to create strong flavors. A little bit of sautéed chorizo, for example, turns kale into an aromatic trend dish.
Present correctly
Reduce the portions and give healthy side dishes the leading role. Change the perception by placing them in separate glasses or bowls on the plate.

Beeswax cloth meets bread culture

Zero waste for professionals and guests

The Austrian brand Kumanu shows how circular thinking can be applied in everyday life—and makes doing without plastic both practical and aesthetic. With its “Frischefritz” beeswax wraps and ‘Krümelkarl’ and “Pausenpaul” bread and snack bags, it provides the industry with a well-thought-out solution for keeping food fresh for longer – without any plastic or aluminum foil.

The products are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, organic beeswax from Austria and Germany, and tree resin from traditional pitch production – a combination that has an antibacterial effect and guarantees natural durability.
