Lift Airlines announced a partnership with MasterChef SA 2022 winner, Shawn Godfrey, who has created an in-flight dining experience for Lift’s premium passengers.
Godfrey won the fourth season of MasterChef South Africa and has since launched his food company, The Roasted Dad, which has partnered with Lift.
In preparing the elevated menu, Godfrey must oblige to a new set of guidelines that don’t apply on land.
‘It’s important to be strategic about the meals served on a plane. Obviously, the smell is a big consideration on a flight due to the confined space, and meals including ingredients with a strong odour can be unpleasant, so we chose to stay clear of those. In addition, being mindful that South Africa is a melting pot of beautiful diversity, all food suppliers and products used by Lift are halaal friendly,’ Godfrey commented.
The in-flight menu included dishes such as chickpea shakshuka served with ostrich boerewors and micro herbs as a breakfast snack. Lunch offerings include a creamy cheese herb ‘pap tart’ served with Moroccan pulled lamb, yoghurt and a micro herb topping. Travellers can also indulge in dark brownies and white cappuccino truffles for dessert.
