Inspiring Women at the Gourmet Country Tasting

The role of women in gastronomy is becoming increasingly visible and dominant, and this year's most popular event on the Hungarian gastronomic scene, the MBH Bank Gourmet Festival, will highlight this at Millenáris in Budapest on May 24-26. The "walking country tasting" will again draw heavily on the culinary offerings of Hungary, with around 100 exhibitors presenting excellent restaurants, pastry shops, bakeries and a diverse range of drinks, from coffee specialities to cocktails and champagnes.

The Budapest Gourmet Festival has a tradition of always focusing on a different theme. In the past, the focus was on iconic dishes, then on a particular ingredient, later on tradition and the heritage of Hungarian cuisine, and last year on the increasing role of the new generation.

The 2024 Gourmet Festival will focus on inspiring female energy, with three ambassadors in Zsóka Fekete, Gabriella Ormós and Zsuzsanna Ötvös. Although they work in different fields of gastronomy, the professional journey and success of all three is very inspiring and exemplary. In addition to our ambassadors, we will of course also be presenting many other women from the world of gastronomy at the festival. Judit Stahl and her gastronomic theater performance Flódni will also strengthen the 'female energy', the main organizer of the Gourmet Festival, Richárd Nemes, said.

He added that the full range of the more than 50 restaurants and pastry shops exhibiting at the festival has been put together. A special feature of this year's menu is that it includes a number of budget-friendly dishes, which can be purchased for up to HUF 2,500.
