The Barbados Food and Rum Festival is approaching which has become one of the most popular events in the region.
It features local and international chefs, renowned rum producers and culinary personalities. There will be 22 local chefs and mixologists to showcase the best of Barbados’ culinary talent and cuisine. It runs from October 19-22 under the theme ‘Feed the Future’.
The chefs will create dishes using 50 per cent Barbadian ingredients, rum and a mystery ingredient which they selected from the Mystery Box. Similarly, the mixologists selected their local mystery ingredients to incorporate in their rum cocktails.
In addition, the use of rum in the savoury dishes could start a new food trend. While many people pair cocktails with food, finding a way to bring the rum in and beside a dish could be a new approach for food festivals.
Aprille Thomas, Director at Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc, said: “This October best in Barbadian culinary talent will be on display. From award winning mixologists to vegan chefs; we look forward to wowing patrons with new things in Caribbean and international cuisine.”
Joining the local talent will be Food Network’s Anne Burrell, UK MasterChef, Chef Shelina Permalloo and from Colombia Chef Juan Diego.
