International First and Business

  

An astonishing amount of coordination happens behind the scenes of putting a meal on a plane.

A major focus of Rockpool is creating food that will be fresh, extraordinary and flavourful whilst holding up to all the necessary steps for food on International First and Business class flights. It’s a lengthy process of research, inspiration, planning, testing, sourcing, creating, apportioning and flying the many hundreds of superb dishes which land on the plates of salivating passengers, miles high around the globe.

Working alongside Neil is our team at Rockpool Consulting – Terry, Roger, Kate, Jess and Rae, along  with a number of Rockpool and Qantas chefs, work to create and make the best and freshest dishes for in-flight menus and lounges.  It’s close to an 11 month process to implement a menu change and we change the menus in line with the seasons every three months. The team works tirelessly to create dishes and improve current ones, constantly tweaking and sourcing the very best of suppliers to excite our flyers palates and exceed their expectations.

At this time we are just about to head into the test kitchen for the exciting and delicious recipe testing stage. From here, at Rockpool George Street, and from inside our test kitchen,  we finalise all menus and get them ready to get off the ground with the help of all at Qantas.
