Numerous student services organisations in Germany have already successfully held recipe competitions in recent years. Now, students in the Tübingen-Hohenheim university region also have the opportunity to contribute their ideas and actively help shape the canteen menu.

The Tübingen-Hohenheim student services organisation is inviting students at its affiliated universities to submit their own suggestions for meat-free main courses in the 2025/26 recipe competition. The aim is to further develop the range of dishes on offer and to work with students to increase the variety in the canteen.

‘We want to actively incorporate the eating habits and wishes of our students into the cafeteria. With this competition, we are providing space for creativity and showing that sustainable, meat-free dishes can also be implemented perfectly in communal catering,’ explains Edith Hein, Managing Director of the Tübingen-Hohenheim Student Services Association.
