Returning for its ninth year, the award-winning Food On The Edge symposium for thought leadership will take place on the 21 & 22 October in ATU, Galway. Food On The Edge is a coming together of international and national chefs, food activists, authors and others to listen, talk and debate about the future of food in our industry and on our planet. This year’s symposium will feature an impressive roster of global culinary leaders, including Fadi Kattan, Sally Abé, Najat Kaanache, Vanika Choudray and Nathan Davies, to name but a few.
Palestinian chef and advocate Fadi Kattan will bring his unique perspective on the power of storytelling through food.
Sally Abé is one of London’s leading chefs and runs the critically acclaimed fine dining restaurant, The Pem. As a mentor and advocate for women in hospitality, Sally has become a leading voice for equality, diversity, and work/life balance in the industry.
Najat Kaanache, renowned for her expertise in Moroccan cuisine, is also making her Food On The Edge debut and Vanika Choudhary is at the forefront of modern Indian fine dining.
Together, the diverse range of speakers and chefs illustrates the rich tapestry of global cuisine and the pivotal role that chefs play in shaping the future of food.
“We’re excited to welcome such a diverse group of visionary chefs to Food On The Edge 2024,” said JP McMahon, founder of Food On The Edge, “Their collective experiences and unique perspectives will undoubtedly spark meaningful conversations about our sense of place, the future of food and the role we all play in it.
