After a sadly culinary year marked by the capture of Kabul in August 2021 and the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war at the end of February 2022, the committed festival will have a particular resonance this year. From June 7 to 26, in 11 cities in France and Switzerland, nearly a hundred addresses will share their know-how with cooks and craftsmen who have come to find refuge in France, to enrich themselves with their culinary heritage and create new 4 sector menus. These meetings will give rise, for the time of one or more services, to collaborations with Ukrainian, Syrian, Afghan, Tibetan, Mauritanian or Ethiopian accents…
Bordeaux, Dijon, Geneva, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes, Paris, Rennes and Strasbourg: these are the cities that will host the festival in June, on the occasion of World Refugee Day, the 20th. at the neighborhood canteen, local establishments will open their kitchen doors wide to welcome these cooks and show that the kitchen is a powerful tool for social and professional integration.
