International Culinary Events

By on June 3, 2013

As I mentioned in my previous post “Globe Trotting for the love of food“, I was to attend the Peru’s Mistura food event which I still plan on doing in the next couple of years. That being said, there are numerous food events around the globe that is at our disposal. Yes, some of them are expensive depending where you are located – flights, hotels and then tickets to attend said events could very well set you back. However, for some if they happen to already be in that particular country and are foodies at heart then why not kill two birds with one stone.

Below I’ve listed just a handful of international food events that could tempt you or at the very least its something that you can add to your bucket list…some of these are on mine. Slowly but surely I am checking off some of my food related bucket list items…baby steps is the key!

**Some events have already passed but the information provided as well as the video accompanying the information will give you a sneak peak as to what to expect the next time the event kicks in.

PERU










Peru’s Mistura 2013 to take place September 6-15 
Lima, Mar. 15 (ANDINA). The Peruvian Society of Gastronomy (Apega) has announced that Mistura 2013, the largest food festival in Latin America, will take place on September 6-15 this year in Lima.
Mistura is one of the world’s biggest gastronomical events and the largest food fair in the world. In 2011, Mistura broke the Turin Italian Cuisine Expo then attendance world-record of 275,000 people with a paid attendance of 405,000. At the new ground in Campo de Marte, Peru Mistura 2013 will have estimate paid gate attendance of 600,000 people. Last year there were about 25,000 international tourists, mostly from the United States, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil.

Food, and the people that make it, are respected at all levels of society in Peru. During the Mistura food festival, Peruvians from various social, age, and gender distinctions gather around pots and cookers to celebrate Peru’s traditional cuisine, marvel at the creativity, reaffirm their identity and celebrate cultural diversity. Food has long been associated with Fiesta. The Mistura food fair brings together the various actors in the chain cuisine of Peru: farmers, producers of pisco, cooks, bakers, food sellers, confectionery, huariques, restaurants, cooking schools, and commercial companies. In Mistura a special tribute is paid to mother earth, or Pachacama. The richness of Peruvian cuisine is based on history and at the confluence of particular styles culinary and inputs from different regions of Peru – hence the name mistura, which means mixture. To this regional diversity is added 5 centuries of contributions of European tastes, Arabs, Africans, Chinese, and Japanese.


The Mistura food festival attracts internationally acclaimed chefs such as Ferran Adria of El Bulli, Alex Atala of D.O.M. in Sao Paulo, Dan Barber of Blue Hill in New York, Massimo Bottura of Italy’s La Osteria Francescana, Rene Redezipi of Copenhagen’s Noma, Quique Dacosta of Spain’s Quique Dacosta Restaurant, and many famous Peruvian chefs such as Gaston Acurio, Rafael Piqueras, Rafael Osterling, Virgilio Martinez, Javier Wong, Giacomo Bocchio, Mitsuharu Tsumura, Ferran Adrià, René Redzepi, Alex Atala, Massimo Bottura, Victor Gutierrez, Luis Arevalo, Astrid Gutsche, Jaime Pesaque, Toshiro Konishi, Cyrus Watanabe, and Pedro Miguel Schiaffino (many will have food booths for a taste of their internationally renowned creations).




AUSTRALIA


 Once each year the small Northern Sunshine Coast town of Noosa becomes a mecca for foodies from across Australia and further afield when they visit the Noosa International Food and Wine Festival. When skimming the programme it’s hard not to be slightly awe inspired by the impressive assembly of over 100 world class chefs, wine makers and food writers. In fact, this year’s line-up included chefs representing 12 restaurants listed in the top 100 globally in the San Pellegrino awards.


Alongside a full programme of talks, wine tastings and celebrity chef demonstrations, the festival also encompasses producers from across Australia promoting their delicacies; not to forget a competition fuelled cook-off between stallholders, each vying to be named the best dish or wine of the festival.
