New menus in La Premiere and Business cabins, available on board long-haul flights on departure from the United States.
NEW YORK – Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud will be creating new dishes for Air France‘s La Premiere (first class) and Business cabins on board long-haul flights from 11 North American cities*.
“Customers are more interested than ever in enjoying the best quality food, whether in a restaurant or on-the-go, and that includes in-flight,” said Daniel Boulud. “Air France has always maintained very high standards for culinary excellence on board, which I have enjoyed many times as a passenger between my home in the US and my native France. I saw this as a wonderful opportunity to bring together our expertise and create a better in-flight experience for passengers. I hope Air France travelers will find my dishes to be soulful and delicious!”
Daniel Boulud’s dishes have French roots, with global inspirations – they are complex in flavor and simple in satisfaction.
In the La Premiere cabin, the chef has created harmonious and seasonal dishes. Every three months, a new dish is offered from a selection of the following five culinary delights:
- Atlantic Lobster, Curried Coconut Sauce, Black Rice and Bok Choy;
- Provencal Lamb Chop, Zucchini Pesto, Tomato, and Cheese Polenta;
- Tomato Braised Chicken, Four Bean Medley and Basil;
- Peppered Beef Tenderloin, Cranberry, Squash and Spinach Custard;
- Seabass in Vine Leaves, Za’atar, Farro and Grape.
In the Business cabin, the flavors are warm, spicy and exotic, but retain their French character. Every two weeks, one of the following four dishes will be featured:
- Salmon with Fennel, Chickpea and Sumac;
- Moroccan Chicken Tagine, with Lemon, Cauliflower and Couscous;
- Braised Chicken Basquaise with Chorizo, Peppers, and Saffron Rice;
- Braised Lamb with Spring Root Vegetables and Edamame.
