The aim is to help the industry of restaurants and food services — and related sectors — to better understand and translate the healthy, sustainable and cultural principles of the Mediterranean diet into menus and products that meet the ever-changing demands of their guests.
An international panel of forty international food leaders will participate, including chefs such as Rodrigo de la Calle (El Invernadero), Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas (Disfrutar), Stijn Kuppens (Food Manager at Google), Ebru Baybara Demir (Basque Culinary World Prize 2023), Chartier François (consultant in aromatic sciences) and José Miguel Herrero Velasco (Director General of the Food Industry at the Ministry of Agriculture).
As Adelaida Ferrer, co-director of the TMC explains, "after the success of the previous edition, Tomorrow Tastes Mediterranean continues to grow, this time focusing on five themes: the advances of the latest research studies on the Mediterranean diet, innovation in vegetable cuisine, the influence of olive oil on our diet, the meaning of the Mediterranean diet on the coast of Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East and, finally, the challenge of educating the public about an optimal Mediterranean diet".
