The Spirit of Fes Foundation is busy putting everything in place for the upcoming Fes Sacred Music Festival. Just to get you in the mood, on the 28, 29 and 30 of April in the medina, the Foundation along with the ‘Conseil Regional du Tourisme de Fes’ have organised the 3rd Culinary Arts Festival. The theme is La Cuisine du lien (Cooking Connections) and will celebrate the gastronomic arts, savoir-faire and ritual and in particular, traditional Moroccan cuisine.

La Cuisine du lien is an invitation to trace the connections between the two sides of the Mediterranean that lead us back into history to explore Moroccan roots and traditions as well as looking at the latest discoveries and new culinary experiments.

These three days will be devoted to awakening the senses, to creativity, to thought and debate, and to the opportunity to meet top-name chefs from various cultural backgrounds during talks and workshops.

The event will be putting Moroccan cuisine under the spotlight, asking questions of the great masters of western, traditional or experimental cuisine, so that they can show you all that’s new in this field.

There will be lots of Festival activities taking place in various parts of the Fes medina. Local people, businesses and artisans will rub shoulders with authors, participants and the great stars of traditional Moroccan cuisine. Both Moroccan professionals and visitors will be able to discover the great Fassi art of living.
