Singapore Airlines has partnered with BBC Masterchef and Amazing Hotels presenter and chef, Monica Galetti, for a selection of outstanding seasonal menus.

The collaboration includes a refined four-course menu for Suites and First Class customers, and an indulgent three-course menu for Business Class travellers.

Chef Monica's menu presents a fusion of flavours using locally sourced produce and draws inspiration from both her South Pacific roots and classical French training,

Passengers can look forward to four seasonal menus, each featuring Galetti's signature "Hokey Pokey" dessert – a nostalgic chocolate and honeycomb treat inspired by her childhood in New Zealand.

Chef Monica Galetti says: "After months of menu development, I am delighted to unveil my exclusive menu for Singapore Airlines. Bringing fine dining to customers at 35,000ft is my most exciting culinary journey yet. From fresh lobster to fine caviar and warming soups to locally sourced lamb, customers can expect a world-class in-flight dining experience on board Singapore Airlines flights."

Monica Galetti’s exclusive seasonal menus are available from October 2024 until November 2025 on flights departing from the UK.

The Spring menu is available from March to May, and the Summer menu from June to August. There are two separate menus, one for Suites and First Class customers, and one for Business Class customers.Monica Galetti x Singapore AirlinesMohamed Rafi Mar, Singapore Airlines general manager UK and Ireland, says: "We are excited to have Chef Monica's new seasonal menus on board our flights from October 2024. Whether you are flying out of London Heathrow, Manchester Airport, or from our latest departure point in London Gatwick, our Suites, First Class, and Business Class customers will be treated to gourmet in-flight dining from one of London's top chefs. We look forward to welcoming our customers on board to experience Singapore Airlines' hospitality at its best."

Singapore Airlines' commitment to in-flight dining excellence is further demonstrated by its collaboration with five world-renowned chefs on its  International Culinary Panel, including two Michelin-starred chefs collectively holding ten Michelin stars.

The airline also boasts an international panel of wine consultants, including Oz Clarke, who curates the onboard wine selection.Monica Galetti x Singapore AirlinesIn addition to Chef Monica's menu, passengers in Suites, First Class, and Business Class can choose from European or Asian menus.

For a wider selection, they may opt for the airline's "Book the Cook" service, available at least 24 hours prior to departure.

This service features dishes created by the Singapore Airlines International Culinary Panel, including globally recognised chefs Matt Moran and Georges Blanc.

The introduction of Chef Monica Galetti's exclusive menu further enhances Singapore Airlines' reputation for providing exceptional in-flight dining experiences, offering passengers a taste of gourmet cuisine at 35,000 feet.
