For the total health physical and mental well-being and good nutrition is essential. Spa cuisine’s focuses on health and physical and mental well-being. Offers light and healthy dishes with a menu which containts appropriate amount of protein, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetable fiber. People believes that healthy food is tasteless and thely like only what’s „bad”. However, spa cuisine can revolutionize this view.

Today's spa cuisine is very diverse, dishes fit easily in a day spa package. Miután egy day spa alkalmával több órát, hacsak nem egy egész napot töltünk el a szalonban, ajánlatos valamilyen ételt biztosítani a vendégeknek az ott tartózkodás ideje alatt. After spending several hours – or maybe a whole day - on a day spa occasion it is advisable to provide some food for the guests during the stay. Thus emerged the need for spa cuisine and its’s becoming increasingly popular day by day.

Spa cuisine assumes that you care about health.
You are what you eat! People say…

Today we have plenty of options to choose from when we are hungry but always keep in mind to have appropriate quality and quantity of what you eat.

Everybody claims to cook from fresh ingredients…but we have to dig a little deeper to find out the truth. Eating fried food, however if it was recently picked, dug up, caught or slaughtered, it’s exactly not the healthiest way of dining. Especially if was exposed to chemicals while it was growing, or being reared.

These days, when it’s so populer to take care of our body and soul with different spa treatments doesn't it make sense to think more seriously about what goes in? Many people are beginning to think so that's why there's an ever-increasing demand for Spa Cuisine.

Spa cuisine is all about selecting the fresh, organic fruits & vegetables, and using them in enhancing the flavours of a meal's other ingredients. Ingredients such as ocean-fresh fish & free-range poultry.
And a myth that needs dispelling quickly, is that "all fats and oils are bad". Certain fats are essential to your body, and it's the quality and the quantity of these fats that should be considered. Spa Cuisine Chefs don't cook with oils, but do reduce your saturated fat intake by only using trimmed, lean meat. They design meals that supply you with the essential fatty acids found in fish, vegetables, grains and pulses.

As you've probably guessed, it's a unique culinary art too. You won't find every chef, however skilled and experienced, capable of preparing spa cuisine. When the Spa Cuisine Chef adds herbs, he'll be thinking about their medicinal properties too, not just their flavour! Ginger doesn't only perk up the taste buds - it also aids digestion. And lemongrass lends more to a meal than just its citrus tang. While you're eating a dish with this plant as an ingredient, your breathing tracts are being cleared too.
