Lufthansa German Airlines has announced a cooperation with Beijing's Green T. House to introduce Zhang Jin Jie, owner and artisan of the innovative restaurant in Beijing, as its latest global Star Chef.

Zhang Jin Jie, or JinR as she is known, has already created menus for Lufthansa's worldwide flights, enabling the airline's premium passengers to savor her extravagant creations. JinR combines classic Chinese cuisine with Western influences but her unusual dishes are created very spontaneously. Green tea plays an important role because she believes it is the best accompaniment to her dishes. Creating delight, even before guests visualize the stunning food presentation, and savor the exotic flavors, are the imaginative names of her dishes.

"Lufthansa is delighted to cooperate with such a celebrated and dynamic culinary artisan as JinR. Partnering prestigious establishments such as Green T. House ensures we present a truly international face to our global customers, and enables them to experience world class cuisine," said Gregor Wende, chief representative for China, Lufthansa. "Through our Star Chefs program, and our extensive flight network, Lufthansa is able to showcase one of China's rising stars right around the world."

The menu created by JinR is available to Lufthansa's First and Business Class guests onboard daily flights from Germany to the world, starting from March 2007.
