WANDERLUST KÜCHE:
A Culinary Dialogue

Wanderlust Küche - Manila

A series of events on German & Filipino food culture

Street food, super food, craft beer - the world of eating and drinking is as dynamic as never before. Nothing connects people from different backgrounds as much as a pleasurable meal. With this in mind, the Goethe Institutes of Southeast Asia are bringing the countries of the region together around the table. Throughout November 2018, the project Wanderlust Küche - A Culinary Dialogue will unite Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand under the motto "Tafeln ohne Grenzen" (Tables without Borders). For this particular part of the project, a professional German cook joins forces with a master chef from a partner country. Together they create an international menu for a select number of guests. The project also features numerous other events centering on the topic of culinary art and tradition.
Manila will have its fair share of food-related activities lined up for November -- Goethe-Institut's de facto culinary month in the region -- starting with an exhibition on German food and cookbooks to the culminating German-Filipino fusion dinner prepared by chefs Kalel Chan of M Café and Steffen Burkhardt of the collective Werteköche. 

Admission to all events are free and open to all, unless otherwise specified. 

Similar events are taking place all over this part of the world in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. To find out more, please visit the Wanderlust Küche website.
