Beyond Meat.

Last week, Lauren Wildbolz had the wonderful opportunity to host catering for 70 guests during the Swiss launch of Honest Iced Tea. Her highlight was getting to know the visionary Seth Goldman. He gave her the fantastic news that his company Beyond Meat* was already supplying the first restaurants in Switzerland with Beyond Meat burger patties in July. will supply.

*Beyond Meat

The company Beyond Meat has succeeded in cracking the molecular composition of meat. Beyond Meat offers chicken, beef and, most recently, a burger made from pea protein, beetroot juice, chia seeds and other plant-based ingredients.

Vegan start-up companies are springing up, financed by Bill Gates, Google founder Sergej Brin and financial investor Peter Thiel. These are companies that want to revolutionize the meat market. One of the flagship investments: Beyond Meat. The founders want the meat to be followed by something that looks and tastes like meat – but comes from vegan production rather than from animals.

The Californian start-up wants to replace animal protein with plant-based protein for the masses. For human health, positive impact on climate change, natural resources and respect for animal welfare.

Their approach is based on the 25/20 principle: The Beyond Meat company aims to reduce global meat consumption by 25 percent by 2020.

Review vom Samstag, 26. Mai, 10.30–14.30 Uhr

«Kochen ist ein kreatives Werkzeug, um die Welt zu verändern!» Lauren Wildbolz führte in zukunftsweisende Ernährungstrends ein. Ihr Wissen und ihr Engagement für das Thema vegane Ernährung sind wegweisend für den Umgang mit Lebensmitteln aus naturnahem, umweltschonendem Anbau und Gebrauch – und regten zum Nachdenken an. Lis Mijnssen gab Einblicke in die Praxis und Erfahrung ihrer gelebten Philosophie – ökologisch, biologisch, vegan und bewusst gegenüber Mensch und Umwelt.
Zum anschliessenden Diskurs geniessten die Gäste ein reichhaltiges veganes Nomadenfrühstück und lernten die beiden Exponentinnen persönlich kennen.

 

The black gang – Manifesto by Good food for you

It is an essential ethical ingredient of our new, gastrosophic cuisine that we would like to emphasize: Art in the form of an exploratory process that addresses questions about cooking and artistic staging. Inspiration for this comes from the chefs of the Nordic Food Lab, who report on food making through philosophizing and critical self-reflection: “Why do we work with the ingredients we do, why do we choose to work with them in the ways we do, and are these decisions, taken together, a ‘cuisine’?” Making food and creating an ambience not only require skillful craftsmanship, but above all the willingness to combine science and subtlety, human intelligence and creativity.

We use the tools of emotionalization, for example with background music, because the sound whets the appetite. Thanks to neurogastronomic experiments, we are following a recommendation from Oxford University, which has investigated in several studies how sounds sensitize our taste buds.

We not only smell, see and taste the food, we also feel and hear it. Our enjoyment is multisensory. For example, dinner plates are chosen in different colors to sharpen the subjective perception through complementary contrasts. We promise auspicious color associations of the food. With this scientific knowledge and with the help of a self-developed gastronomy method, we realize an ethical and aesthetic temporary restaurant concept. We always think of the act of eating as an artistic medium. Our multi-course menu achieves an ethical cleansing.

Picture: Part of the “Good food for you” collective.

The gastroethical imperative is not that all fine cuisine must necessarily be vegan. Such a maxim of renunciation is neither realistic nor factually correct. Nevertheless, chefs, artists and scenographers in particular should rise to the artistic challenge and devote themselves to this topic.

“We cook and stage in temporary spaces and in combination with science, ethics and creativity.”

Clean Food for Carnivores @ Food Zurich.

See, smell, taste and hear new things. The art collective “Good Food for you for free”, namely artists Claudia Marolf, scenographer Helen Prates de Matos and cooking activist and vegan Lauren Wildbolz, have noble intentions: In one evening, restaurant visitors are catered for on all sensory levels. The focus is on confronting our usual eating habits and consciously breaking down familiar thought patterns. The result is a narrative spatial experience with a scientific embedding of smell, taste and tonality.
