Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal has teamed up with renowned plant-based chef Matthew Kenney to change the hospitality and food service industry across the globe.

The partnership is planned to be implemented through Prince Khaled's KBW Ventures and Matthew Kenney's firm, Folia, according to Arabian Business.

Starting with a plant-based menu in the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, the project includes providing vegan options on menus in restaurants across the world, as well as offer healthy menus for restaurant-goers and families.

“We will target hospitality companies, as well as those with a role in the food and beverage industry, to help them better understand what plant-based food really is, and to facilitate them transforming their 'healthy options' into truly healthy options that are tasty and look amazing,” Prince Khaled, known for his vegan lifestyle, said.

The prince, who describes the partnership as a consultancy and teaching company, further noted that this service will be provided for everyone and for each type of cuisine, from fast food and casual dining to fine dining.

“The Folia menu at the Four Season’s includes Watermelon Poke, marinated in a flavourful ponzu lime broth; Hearts of Palm Ceviche with California fruit, vegetables and edible flowers; Beet Hummus with oregano cream; and Dukkah Avocado with spicy greens, preserved lemon and tomato jam,” Arabian Business added.
