The Bahamas is set to give visitors a taste of the islands with the Bahamas Culinary Classic Wine and Food Festival.
Indigenous foods such as conch and other Bahamian delicacies will be prepared in every way imaginable, organisers say.
The annual culinary event, held this year between September 29 and October 2, is being sponsored by the Bahamas Gourmet Magazine.
A Ministry of Tourism spokesman said the festival will take a new twist this year, targeting culinary enthusiasts from all over the world, attracting them to the Bahamas to dine in the finest restaurants in Nassau and New Providence, with food prepared by the country’s top chefs.
Julian Burnside, for seven years the event chairwoman welcomed the new injection of energy from event partner Gourmet Magazine, and said she looks foward to many local sponsors joining in on the excitement.
The Culinary Classis will feature judging by Sara Moulton, host of Food Network’s Sara’s Secrets.
Ms. Moulton, along with other celebrities and judges, will sample and choose their favourite dishes prepared by chefs from hotels throughout the islands.
The gourmet wine and food festival will also include celebrity chef seminars, book signings and, of course, wine and food tasting.
