What is the Gastronomic Forum?

In 2010, UNESCO declared Mexican cuisine as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The VI World Forum of Mexican Gastronomy unites academics, professional chefs, food and beverage producers, cooks, traditional cooks, and many more people from different fronts involved

with Mexican cuisine.

The purpose of the Forum is to promote the culture and image of Mexico through its cuisine, to make its culinary traditions more fully known and to open a space that facilitates the exchange of ideas, knowledge, techniques, products, and dishes to celebrate and learn more about the cuisine of Mexico.
