Ubud Food Festival LINE-UP, PROGRAM and TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE Ubud, INDONESIA – Bringing together the archipelago’s most celebrated culinary icons, leading restaurateurs from Bali’s ever-modernising food scene and world class international chefs to experience the very best in Indonesian tastes, plates and creative cuisine, the Ubud Food Festival (UFF) has today released its full line-up, program and tickets for 2016. Returning for its second year from 27-29 May, the UFF spans high-energy live cooking demonstrations and fiery competitions, fine dining experiences created by award-winning chefs, in-depth culinary conversations on topics ranging from Indonesian food heritage t0 sustainability, plus workshops, food tours, markets, live music, film screenings, yoga and much, much, more. Heading this year’s international culinary line-up are 2016 winner of ‘Asia’s Best Female Chef’ in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards Margarita Fores, head chef and owner of Sydney, Melbourne and now Seminyak’s MoVida restaurants Frank Camorra, head chef and owner of Singapore’s new fine-dining destination ODETTE restaurant Julien Royer (supported by CasCades Restaurant), YouTube sensation and fish-sustainability champion Bart Van Olphen and found-and-foraged chef Jessie McTavish of Melbourne’s The Kettle Black. Straight from leading the archipelago’s food revolution the Festival is joined by the ‘ibu’ (mother) of Indonesian cuisine and much-loved TV chef Sisca Soewitomo, Indonesia’s first Michelin-star chef Mandif Warokka, food journalists Petty Elliot and Bondan Winarno, leading food diplomat William Wongso, award-winning cocktail-guru Raka Ambarawan, celebrated pastry chef Dedy Sutan and NYC-trained sate king Agung Nugroho. The UFF will also showcase the very best of Bali’s internationally-acclaimed food scene, including Eelke Plasmeijer of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurant 2016 award winner Locavore, El- Bulli trained Kevin Cherkas of Cuca, the ‘Streetfood Chef’ Will Meyrick, Room4Dessert’s NYC pastry icon Will Goldfarb, star chef of CasCades Restaurant Nic Vanderbeeken, and Mozaic’s modern French maestro, Chris Salans. “This year, our program is centred on the theme of ‘Go Local’, enriching our understanding of Indonesia’s complex and vibrant culinary landscape: where our food comes from, the hands that cultivate it, and how it fits into the social, cultural and geographic context that surrounds it,” explains UFF Founder & Director Janet DeNeefe. “Each of the UFF’s 60+ chefs and culinary icons have been challenged to pay tribute to this theme, whether that’s with an early morning trip to Ubud Market to source ingredients for their special event, working-side by side with Indonesian chefs to dish up a culinary- collaboration or getting inventive with hot coals and a bamboo leaf fan in front of an audience of hungry foodies,” she said. Highlights of this year’s program include a range of events at the Festival’s Hub – Taman Kuliner – including early morning Bahasa Indonesia lessons and bubur (Balinese rice porridge), a Blue Ribbon Bali Babi (Bali heritage pig) show, a photo journey with Nigella Lawson and Bill Grainger cookbook photographer Petrina Tinslay, and a junior chef carving competition. On the Festival’s Kitchen Stage (also at the Festival Hub, Taman Kuliner), Indonesian and international chefs will go head-to-head to plate up their best versions of sate lilit (Balinese satay), bebek (duck) and sambal-sambal (spicy sauce), as well as demonstrating how to use turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, cloves and other local ingredients to create quintessential Indonesian dishes and drinks with a modern twist. Special events include a wood-fired suckling pig lunch served with local craft beer at Amandari, a rooftop cook-out overlooking Campuhan ridge at Bisma Eight, a nose-to-tail babi (pork) degustation at Locavore, an Ambon-meets-Amsterdam seafood feast at Casa Luna, a hand-crafted ceramics and raw food fine dining collaboration at MOKSA, wine and Indonesian food pairing at bridges, high tea with one of Ubud’s royal families at Warwick Ibah, and the launch of the world’s first durian-cured cheese by farming cooperative Wanaprasta. “We’re so proud that the not-for-profit Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati has been able to bring the UFF back not just for its second year, but also to add a depth of flavour to the program that will enrich the way we think about, talk about and experience the ever- evolving, always imaginative, super creative Indonesian food scene,” DeNeefe said. “We’re so excited for the thousands of foodies that will flock to Ubud in just six short weeks to join in the culinary extravaganza!” - ENDS - More Information: The full line-up, program and tickets for the 2016 Ubud Food Festival (27-29 May) are now on sale via www.ubudfoodfestival.com.

  • View of ASEAN Food William W
    Foreword Amb. Kim Young-sun Secretary General, ASEAN-Korea Centre The ASEAN* region has a great variety of cuisines that are distinctive despite having some common elements. ASEAN cuisine is a celebration of cultural diversity and unique ways of life, delivered through appetite-whetting dishes and exotic aromas. It embraces the unique characteristics of many different ethnicities, and in that way is a history of the culture of the region. The ASEAN spirit and passion permeate each and every dish, and food is an important link in the chain that binds the ASEAN community together. The ASEAN Culinary Festival 2016, organized by the ASEAN-Korea Centre, aims to introduce ASEAN cuisine to the Korean public by presenting a wide spectrum of ASEAN dishes. Thirty distinctive dishes are included; they were selected to suit the Korean palate while showcasing the diverse flavors of ASEAN. Under the theme “Gourmet Trips to ASEAN,” the Festival will help Koreans, also known for their cuisine, discover the sweet and savory ASEAN culinary delights. In line with the “Visit ASEAN@50: Golden Celebration” campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ASEAN, the Festival also intends to promote ASEAN culinary destinations by showcasing fascinating food trails across the region to the Korean public. Food is a universal language that brings people and cultures together. It is an essential part of life to all people of all nations. With the rise in the number of tourists traveling specifically to experience the cuisine of other peoples, food is increasingly important in enhancing harmony around the world. In this regard, I am certain that the ASEAN Culinary Festival will serve as a platform to strengthen the partnership between ASEAN and Korea by connecting the hearts and minds of the people and creating a bond over a “shared meal of diversity.” With the ASEAN-Korea Cultural Exchange Year in 2017, the ASEAN Culinary Festival is a new way to bring deeper cultural understanding between ASEAN and Korea.

  • The Genealogy of Traditional Javanese Cassava-Based Foods Sri Herminingrum
    Herminingrum Journal of Ethnic Foods (2019) 6:15 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-019-0015-5 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access The genealogy of traditional Javanese cassava-based foods Sri Herminingrum Abstract Cassava is generally consumed by Javanese who inhabited the areas where cassava plant is cultivated; therefore, culturally, it has ethnic importance. Even though formerly it was regarded as marginal food, its existence follows the nature of culture—ever-changing based on space and time. The study done aims to disclose the genealogy of various kinds of cassava-based foods in connection with Javanese food choices and food ways. Accordingly, the discussion encompasses the materials used, the preparation methods; cooking, serving, and giving suitable complements; the specific functions, the origin, and its development from the past to the present day. The findings significantly demonstrate that the numerous foods generated from cassava roots and leaves, covering staple foods, light meals, side dishes, and drinks, are manifestation of Indonesian cultural diversity. More importantly, this ethnic food in general is also inherent with the Javanese philosophy on living in harmony between humans and the nature surrounding that should be well managed. These two points underline that cassava-based food identity is not a mere cultural expression. It is built by Javanese communities through their natural experiences, simple knowledge, and hard efforts to make cassava-based foods still exist in agreement with the developing era. Keywords: Javanese, Ever-changing, Genealogy, Cassava-based foods, Diversity Introduction It is not surprising, then, if cassava-based foods are as- The uncontrolled population growth and the decline of sociated with the status of an inferior food crop and agricultural land which can be cultivated in Indonesia poverty [2, 3].
