First French gastronomy week begins

Two world-renowned French experts will be making a weeklong visit to Manila to share their knowledge on eating smarter and healthier as part of the “Week Gastronomique,” the first culinary-themed event organized by the Embassy of France in Manila.

In partnership with the French Chamber of Commerce and the Mercato Centrale Group, the outdoor food market commonly found on the streets of France will be making its way to Bonifacio Global City in Taguig on October 18 at the Mercato Centrale tent. The public will be able to choose from different culinary offerings and organic produce and participate in various activities such as cooking demonstrations, wine appreciation classes, and pétanque games.
