Helene Raudaschl discusses Arlene® vegan meals’ promise of great taste

Arlene® creates plant-based ready meals inspired by global food cultures. Meatless Movement recently had a chance to chat with Helene, the Founder of Arlene®. Helene told Meatless Movement about their Halal meatless products ranging from kebabs, dumplings, international appetizers, to dim sum and ready meals, replicating the meat favorites of many people but on a plant-based platform.

I’m Helene Raudaschl, and I’ve been in the food industry for over 26 years. I have experienced a lot over the course of my career in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. My passion today is sharing healthier eating tips and doing more for the environment. I believe that this is the most important aspect of one’s daily habit to give some thought to.

Arlene® is a global kitchen dedicated to creating meat inspired global plant-based delicacies that taste sensational and are 100% vegan. Arlene® products are Halal certified and provide an environmentally friendly alternative for those who are looking for a great culinary experience while limiting consumption of meat-based foods.

“Max said he had more energy. He was fitter. He felt better”.
Helene Raudaschl

I started working on a plant-based diet after my son Max, who is 21 years old, inspired me to do so. He encouraged me by saying it will benefit me personally and will greatly benefit the planet. I became intrigued and began exploring the challenges and possibilities of cooking vegan meals at home. There I realised there are many opportunities and gaps in the market that can be filled by a brand like Arlene®.

How did you come up with the name “Arlene”?

It is created by mixing my own name Helene and the name of our CEO, Arnaud. Hence the name Arlene®. Since it is so neutral, we can apply our own philosophy and characteristics to the brand Arlene® without misleading or confusing anyone.

Arlene® Classic Kebab – ‘meat- kebab’ inspired, delicious and genuine ‘meat’ feel without the meat. Easy to cook in a pan, air fryer, or oven from frozen. Can be applied in many formats including but not limited to: wraps, salad toppings, rice or pasta toppings, fillings etc. Available in original, pistachio and spicy taste profiles.

Arlene® Gyoza that replicates the traditional Japanese style – perfect for anytime snack, meal or appetizer. The silky skin of the gyoza creates a very crispy mouth feel when pan frying them from frozen. The juiciness of the fillings makes a perfect combo with the crispy skin. Available with three different fillings: green bean / chili / and truffle and cabbage.

Arlene® Vegetable Dumpling with Szechuan Sauce – so easy to serve. Remove from the freezer and microwave for 5-6 minutes. The meal is ready. The tangy spiciness of the Szechuan sauce gives the vegetable dumpling the authentic taste just like you have when mama cooks them.

A taste sensation indistinguishable from their meat-based counterparts

In today’s world, however, we must also remember to consider our environment when doing anything. If we can somehow balance all that while ensuring a delicious and healthier eating experience every time we eat, then what else is there to think about…
