This festival will include dinners dedicated to typical dishes of the region, conversations that cross food with disciplines such as visual arts and music, or forums with various names in the food sector and workshops directed professionals and gastronomy lovers.
According to Lee Moulton, the initiative serves to «show the gastronomic diversity that exists in Lagos». The co-organizer of the event also mentions that «the Food Sessions are as much about food and drink, as inspiration and connection with the community».
“Restoration has gone through difficult times in the last two years, but the local population has also spent a lot of time isolated. We want to give a boost to local restaurants, but also give the local community the opportunity to get to know a lot of the diversity of what is done (and well) in Lagos, before the madness of summer», adds Maria Loureiro de Lemos.
The fact that they were able to count on the partnership of the Municipality of Lagos, which participates in some of the events throughout the week, allows them to offer free admission to residents in part of the initiatives - with limited registration and made on a first-come, first-served basis.
