A Tasty Message from the Expert
JEF has a vision to bring Indonesia's culinary creation to a more prestigious and exclusive level and that is why it provides discussion sessions inviting culinary practitioners, industry experts, and food startups.
On the opening day William Wongso said that the most important thing from this culinary festival is taste.
Food is about tasting, because no books can describe it.
The iconic gourmet guru also stressed on the importance of being able to cook our own local food. It would be a shame if Indonesians could not cook their indigenious traditional food.
And it will be even more embarrassing if Indonesian food is claimed by foreign countries and he also warned that foreign writers already begin to write Indonesian cooking books.
Through this festival, William hopes that in addition to giving a chance for visitors to have fun eating and celebrating our richness in culinary, the festival successfully brings the message to preserve Indonesian food. (Reporter: Fina)
