Annemarie Wildeisen and Florina Manz are joining «le menu.» The partnership brings together Swiss culinary expertise and strengthens the culinary platform, which focuses on regional ingredients, seasonality, and foolproof recipes.

With «le menu» teaming up with Wildeisen and Manz, two of Switzerland’s most influential food brands are uniting under one roof—a clear sign of quality, trust, and continuity, according to the press release dated May 11, 2026.
From «le menu» to a comprehensive platform for culinary enjoyment
Since 1998, «le menu» has stood for foolproof recipes, seasonal cuisine, and deep roots in Swiss culinary culture. With the integration of «Wildeisen & Manz,» this profile will be further developed in a targeted manner. Both sides share a clear common vision: cuisine that works in everyday life, yields reliable results, and meets the highest quality standards. The collaboration begins with an extensive special feature on «Tomatoes»; in the future, content from «Wildeisen & Manz» will be a regular part of the offering.
«According to its own statements, »Le menu” is thus consistently evolving from a magazine into a comprehensive platform for Swiss culinary culture—featuring print, digital offerings, and an ever-expanding collection of recipes.
Decades of food expertise brought together
Annemarie Wildeisen and Florina Manz jointly run the family-owned company Arte Cucina and are the editors of the online cooking magazine «Geniessen.» Since 2003, they have operated the private cooking school «Kochen – live!» in downtown Bern, which offers public cooking classes as well as private culinary events. Annemarie Wildeisen has also authored more than 50 cookbooks, which regularly appear on bestseller and long-seller lists.
Annemarie Wildeisen explains the motivation behind the partnership: «It was crucial for us to find both a print and an online platform that shares our values. »Le menu’ embodies precisely the reliability and quality that our readers have valued for decades. For us, this collaboration is a logical and very welcome next step.”
Florina Manz adds: «Our cooking has always been designed to work in everyday life and bring joy. The fact that we can now continue and expand on this within the context of »le menu’ opens up new possibilities—for us and for readers who want to rely on recipes that actually work.”
Strategic Development of «le menu» with Wildeisen and Manz
The partnership is based on a shared foundation of values: regional ingredients, seasonal produce, and guaranteed success. The goal is to offer readers even more inspiration and culinary expertise—across all channels.
