During this live cooking session, Chef Milan La Roch—founder of St. Kilda Brussels and Fish Tank Brussels —takes the stage to put a new plant-based ingredient to the test. With knives sharp and pans hot, he’ll create a series of bold dishes showcasing Vertis™ PB Pea in action. Expect real cooking, real flavors, and a front-row look at how this next-generation ingredient delivers great texture, strong nutritional value, and clean-label simplicity.

Vertis™ PB Pea is designed to solve a challenge many food innovators know all too well: complicated ingredient lists. Developed by Meala FoodTech and brought to market globally by dsm-firmenich, this texturizing pea protein replaces multiple binding systems—like eggs and hydrocolloids—with one single ingredient. The result? Simpler formulations, protein-rich foods, and plant-based products that perform just as well in the kitchen as they do on the label. And yes—you’ll get to taste the results
