Our internationally acclaimed Food. Hence we propose having A Global Festival of Goan Cuisine to coincide with THE 11th Anniversary of THE WORLD GOA DAY celebrations from the 12th to 20th August 2011.. Goan Food has always been internationally acclaimed because of its unique and varied tastes, a real fusion between Eastern and Western tastes ready to satisfy the palate of people of all ages and walks of life. This tasty blend of ingredients spices and foods originating from right across the globe have produced great imaginative and innovative chefs like Cyrus Todiwalla and others on cruise liners etc that have been of service across the globe. Other well known Chefs like Rick Stein, Madhur Jaffrey and the late Keith Floyd have used Goa as a window for specialised and unique ways of preparing delicate and tasty dishes. It is indeed the quality and variety of Goan food that has helped put Goa on the international Map. Many Goans have excelled in the art of cooking and have even written their experiences and recipes in well authored Cookery and cultural books. They will be invited to showcase and exhibit their books and perhaps even demonstrate some of their well documented dishes. However as we celebrate this glorious festival, lets include as many people as possible from all walks of life so that they can share and appreciate our unique Goan cuisine and culture!!!! There are also plans to organise *The BEST OF GOA * , Sorpatel -Sannas Goans and Goan associations who have an interest in promoting the Goan Cuisine - are welcome to share their thoughts on how they propose to celebrate this Goan Cuisine event. You may wish to send in your flyer with details of events being planned to celebrate this unique event., One way to ensure that as many people as possible are included and share in the Goan feast of food, wine song, laughter and fun like only Goans know best is for Goans in their respective towns/cities to encourage restaurants that serve Goan cuisine or have knowledge of Goan cuisine to join us by organising a week of Goan cuisine in their restaurants leading to the 20th of August, 2011 with active participation and support from the local Goan community and friends of Goa..
