They have/it has the right mix to create modern... cuisine...

They have/it has the right mix to create modern, progressive, market oriented cuisine, while remembering/not forgetting traditional recipes.

Since destaca connotes a meaning of noteworthy or standing out, changing "destaca la combinacion" to "have the right mix" creates the same idea and also sounds more like natural English.
Peer comment(s):

agree Deborah Workman : Yes. I might prefer "What stands out is the way they integrate modern, progressive and market-oriented cuisine while remaining faithful to traditional recipes."
