Grueen.ch: Guide to sustainable cuisine
Grueen.ch is a new restaurant guide with a special focus: it exclusively presents environmentally conscious and sustainably produced establishments that offer vegetarian, vegan, organic and regional dishes.
Right from the start, the conscious connoisseur will find Grueen.ch A whole 100 restaurants, according to a press release. It's not a trend, but a change in thinking: consumers no longer simply want to consume, but to shop and enjoy consciously. The food service industry is responding to this trend by offering organic food and vegan dishes on its menus.
Conscious eaters can now find a list of such establishments in an online guide. Here they can find out where they can eat organic, vegan or gluten-free food and how the establishments are set up in terms of production, recycling, energy, fair trade and the like. The platform also offers news, trends, tips and - particularly pleasing - healthy, sustainable recipes to cook. In this way, Grueen.ch is working to ensure that sustainable food becomes more and more part of everyday life and an integral part of Swiss gastronomy.
With Bio Suisse, the association of Swiss organic farming organizations and its Knospe brand, Grueen.ch has gained an experienced organic partner in the field of sustainability. Valérie Monnin, responsible for gastronomy at Bio Suisse, says: "With this platform, Grueen.ch is helping sustainable Swiss kitchens to create an attractive and informative showcase that will not only delight gourmets."
The platform - a TNT Events project - aims to sensitize, inform and motivate guests to get involved, because the creators of Grueen.ch are convinced that we need to change our nutritional awareness. It is no longer the case that our decisions have no influence on our environment. On the contrary: making conscious decisions about what we eat - or don't eat - helps to preserve our environment for future generations.
