Lufthansa has teamed up with prestigious hotel chain The Ritz Carlton to provide gourmet airplane food to their business and first class passengers traveling from the US to Germany. From May 1 to August 2010, chefs across the US will create dishes for Lufthansa’s premium passengers.
The types of dishes Lufthansa will be serving include seared ahi tuna and tomato white bean salad, duck confit with a sherry vinaigrette, pan-roasted beef tenderloin, vanilla panna cotta with a strawberry consommé, and Costa Rican coffee ice cream with a trio of dulce de leche cookies.
