Under the program “Sabores que Transportan”, 16 female chefs worked together with LATAM’s culinary team and its catering partner, gategourmet, to adapt a selection of iconic dishes for the new menus that will be offered onboard flights from July 2024 to June 2025.
Zurich, Switzerland. July 16, 2024: In 2023, LATAM launched a successful culinary program, unique in the aviation industry, called “Sabores que Transportan” (Flavors that Transport You). Aromas, flavors and dish presentation take passengers on a culinary journey across the Latin American continent, through unique stories and moments. Every 3 months, the program introduces a new dish created by South American female chefs, bringing their local flavors and stories to LATAM cabins. These dishes are available on long-haul flights departing from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia in both the Premium and Economy cabins. This initiative, which seeks to give visibility to female chefs who are growing in the gastronomic scene in their respective regions, aims to enrich the in-flight experience of passengers with the authentic tastes of the different countries of South America.
During the first weeks of April 2024, in a coordinated effort, the LATAM and gategourmet teams held a series of workshops to welcome the chefs selected by LATAM to represent their countries in the new season of “Sabores que Transportan.” The program has selected iconic dishes from each of the chefs which have since been adapted to the menus that will be served onboard from July 2024 to June 2025. In this latest edition of the program, chefs representing Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia worked together with the LATAM and gategourmet culinary teams to define and present these iconic dishes, which were developed over the last few months, showcasing impeccable work of great quality and professionalism.
A total of 16 South American female chefs will bring LATAM’s new dishes to life, all based on their own recipes. “Sabores que Transportan” is a program that strengthens the commitment to diversity, inclusion, and multicultural identity, in addition to highlighting the value of local products in Latin America.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this unique journey, awakening all your senses, onboard LATAM.
