A new subscription service has been launched in Geneva to take the hassle out of cooking and allow you to eat more healthily.
Called BeyondFood, the service enables you to receive a weekly delivery of fresh, local ingredients that can be used, with the aid of easy-to-follow recipe cards, to prepare 3 delicious meals for 2 or 4 people.
With vegetarian and non-vegetarian options on offer every week, there is something to suit everyone, especially parents who are looking to provide enticing and healthy meals for their children.
Co-founder Marie-Lou Veillon, told knowitall.ch, “The ingredients we choose are seasonal, fresh, mostly local and organic. We believe our service is special in so far as it makes cooking easier, healthier and more enjoyable, while promoting projects that support the local community and preserve the environment. By building partnerships with cooperatives and associations active in Geneva, BeyondFood has become more than a company and acts mores like part of a network. By cooking with us people are not only getting recipes and ingredients delivered to their home, they are also supporting a different approach to consuming, one that is more local, ethical, sustainable and indirectly helps other associations and cooperatives to prosper.”
Asked how she came to set up up her own food delivery service in the region, Marie-Lou told us, “My partner, Luca, and I co-founded this business. He used to work at the World Economic Forum, which gave him a solid experience dealing with start-ups and new businesses. He wanted to innovate by setting-up a service that would allow us to do business differently, with values, and by creating a network instead of solely running after profits.”

A new cookery school has just opened in Nyon, offering a wide variety of culinary workshops, in both French and English.
Conveniently located in the new arcade opposite the Nyon cinema, Les Papilles à la Fête, is offering classes for aspiring chefs of all ages, at times that should suit everyone from moms with kids, through to busy professionals.
Asked why she decided to set up the new school, Céline Chevalley told knowitall.ch, “As a trained chef, I have always been passionate about cooking, and am always looking for new ways in which to share my recipes and skills with others, especially young children. My philosophy is simple: people should be able to learn to cook in a way that enables them to reproduce one of my recipes at home.”
Are you looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends, but are daunted by the idea of preparing all the food that goes with it? Would you rather just put your feet up and let someone else do the cooking this year? Well you can, and you don’t have to wait for someone else to invite you to their home!
Swiss retail and wholesale bakery, Peace Foods, is offering clients an all-inclusive, food delivery service that means your entire meal – right down to the aperitifs and side dishes – can be delivered to your door, either Ready to Eat (hot out of the oven) or Ready to Heat (just heat and serve).
According to Peace Foods founder, Linda Vogel, all turkeys are natural, free range, Swiss turkeys, brined for 24 hours, and then slow-roasted to ensure they are deliciously juicy and flavorful. But if you don’t fancy turkey, you can also choose from honey-glazed gammon or Irish Angus beef instead.
A new food delivery service has recently opened in Rolle, targeting both residential and corporate inhabitants. Called Venezvite, the new online service will enable customers to order food from a curated list of restaurants, cafés and eateries, catering for a wide range of culinary tastes.
Adjowii Özdemir, Founding Partner of Venezvite, told knowitall.ch, “Venezvite was born out of a need - a hunger if you like – for a website where one could go and have at one's fingertips, an approved list of restaurants offering delivery or take-away in the Lac Léman region. One of the luxuries that residents in the region soon come to miss from their everyday life, particularly those expatriated from larger cosmopolitan areas, is a sense of "convenience" associated with food.”
She added, “Having experienced the same frustration ourselves, my co-founder, Addia Cooper-Henry, and I decided that we should create that place where people could go to find great restaurants, to order from their menus online and have their food prepared and ready for pick-up or delivery in minutes. We are a small, but growing, company with a hearty appetite for achieving and maintaining customer satisfaction.”
