At the festival hub at Israels Plads, you can meet innovative producers, food artisans, and chefs from Zurich.
Discover the projects "Speaking Bread" by Carolina Márquez Bernard and "Mapping Salt" by Sophie Bäumlin from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). They will present them more in detail at a talk in the festival hub. The two design research projects explore, decode, connect and transmit knowledge, experiences and potentials of two basic culinary components: bread and salt.
The event program offers tastings, workshops, and flavorful presentations. Attend a chocolate tasting with the sisters Laura and Fabia Löw, taste the classic Swiss cake called biberli, and learn about the rediscovery of an ancient craft, or explore locally produced non-alcoholic spirits from Zurich.
You can also meet Mika Lanz, a leading figure in urban food systems in Zurich, Esther Kern, who works with the nose-to-tail principle applied to vegetables, or Sara Hochuli and Silvan Leibacher, who specialize in plant-based alternatives to eggs.
