Culinary innovations

567 newly developed recipes

Of the new recipes developed in 2024, 59% are vegetarian or vegan. This means that the recipe database our kitchen professionals can refer to now comprises a total of 5,496 recipes.

Every year, the recipe developers create hundreds of new recipes in our in-house test kitchen. These dishes are all vegan and were developed for our Veganuary Experience Weeks.

The craft of our recipe developers

Our recipe developers always come up with new, delicious and balanced recipes for the Experience Weeks in our restaurants. They developed around 105 recipes for Planetary Health Week, and 20 authentic new recipes for Asian Noodle Soups Week.

Before a dish makes it into our recipe database, it is first designed, sketched out and then cooked and refined for testing. This oven-baked zucchetti with sauce gribiche and a mix of grains was developed for the Planetary Health Weeks.

New partnerships for culinary excellence

When selecting new products for our dishes, we pay attention not only to taste, but also to the origin and nature of the ingredients, the nutritional content and the degree of processing involved in their production. In 2023, Protaneo’s plant-based mince products impressed us in all respects.
