“Spice Up the World” in Bali
“Spice Up The World” is the theme for the fifth annual Food Festival in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
It takes place April 26, 27 and 28, 2019. Look for culinary discussions, cooking demonstrations, seminars, cooking classes, special food programs, musical performance, films, and book launchings.
Janet DeNeefe, the founder and director of the festival, said the “Spice Up to the World” theme is intended to help elevate Indonesian cuisine to wide acceptance internationally. According to DeNeefe, while Thai and Vietnamese food is honored internationally, Indonesian food has yet to achieve equal status. Fortunately, this is changing with Indonesian food gaining greater notoriety around the globe.
According to DeNeefe, proof of this are the food trucks offering Indonesian food that are now frequently found on the streets of Melbourne, Australia.
