A new subscription service has been launched in Geneva to take the hassle out of cooking and allow you to eat more healthily.
Called BeyondFood, the service enables you to receive a weekly delivery of fresh, local ingredients that can be used, with the aid of easy-to-follow recipe cards, to prepare 3 delicious meals for 2 or 4 people.
With vegetarian and non-vegetarian options on offer every week, there is something to suit everyone, especially parents who are looking to provide enticing and healthy meals for their children.
Co-founder Marie-Lou Veillon, told knowitall.ch, “The ingredients we choose are seasonal, fresh, mostly local and organic. We believe our service is special in so far as it makes cooking easier, healthier and more enjoyable, while promoting projects that support the local community and preserve the environment. By building partnerships with cooperatives and associations active in Geneva, BeyondFood has become more than a company and acts mores like part of a network. By cooking with us people are not only getting recipes and ingredients delivered to their home, they are also supporting a different approach to consuming, one that is more local, ethical, sustainable and indirectly helps other associations and cooperatives to prosper.”
Asked how she came to set up up her own food delivery service in the region, Marie-Lou told us, “My partner, Luca, and I co-founded this business. He used to work at the World Economic Forum, which gave him a solid experience dealing with start-ups and new businesses. He wanted to innovate by setting-up a service that would allow us to do business differently, with values, and by creating a network instead of solely running after profits.”

Fabio Magno and Angelo Albrizio decided to bring Italy to Geneva in its most delicious form: mozzarella made entirely from local Geneva milk! They are both from Puglia, Italy, where mozzarella is famed to originate, and now live in Geneva. The opening of their shop took time in preparing. They found an Italian cheese-maker who comes from a long line of cheese-makers, Nicola Antonicelli, who was delighted to participate in this concept.
Every morning before dawn a trip is made to the Laiteries Réunies de Genève. Nicola follows in his father’s footsteps and takes the 300-400 liters of fresh milk and lovingly cooks, stirs, cuts, sieves, and stretches the curds to make 30-50 kilos of balls of fior di latte — the official name for mozzarella made from cow’s milk.
