"Transformation; From Local Heritage to Universal Cooperation” Seminar
Gastronomic Society of Turkey held the second edition of the “Future of Food” meetings initiated last year. This year’s title was “The Future of Food: Transformation; From Local Heritage to Universal Cooperation.”
Held on June 1-2 with the support of the European Union Civil Think Program and hosted by the Nadir Gastronomy Platform, the seminar evaluated the future of food from the perspectives of agricultural production, transformation, cultural exchange, and universal cooperation based on the fact that access to clean, fair, and healthy food is a human right.
"Golden Spoon Gastronomy Awards," which is the first award program initiated and organized by a civil society organization in the field of gastronomy in Turkey and aims to cover the gastronomy field with diversified award categories since 2019, operates entirely based on objective criteria. The method involves the evaluation of pre-jury recommendations by the main jury.
The Awards, initiated with three categories in 2019, gained a true award program status by finding their winners in eight categories in 2020, which coincided with the thirtieth anniversary of the association. The Golden Spoon, given in 10 categories in 2023, is eagerly anticipated as a program that covers the gastronomy field in all its dimensions, from pastry to young chefs, from gastronomy publications to gastronomy sales points, in our country.
