What is the point of a food festival when cooking is everywhere, all around us, in the newspapers, books, blogs and now prime time on television ?
What is the point of such a festival when the contemporary eater and professionals swallow, devour, gobble up everyday and at full speed chefs and trends much more than it takes to have eaten one’s fill ?
That is precisely for these reasons that Omnivore Food Festival is more useful than ever.
For six years indeed it has followed the development of cooking by inviting renowned people of French cuisine (Michel Bras, Pierre Gagnaire, Alain Ducasse, Alain Passard, …), often for the first time by giving famous foreign chefs the opportunity to become known (Ferran Adrià , Heston Blumenthal, David Kinch…) and especially by presenting tomorrow’s and today’s great chefs of world cuisine.
It is this sum of experiences, cultures and styles that the Omnivore Food Festival enables to share thanks to on stage demonstrations like a cooking rock concert but also through meeting the partners, exhibitors and festival-goers in the Omnivore village. By bringing several different and top-quality chefs, by giving cooking a public stage to be displayed, examined, discussed, the 6th Omnivore Food Festival continues to maintain the reflection and appetite for cooking.
