SHILLONG: The Cooks’ Alliance from ten villages displayed an array of traditional foods at the NESFAS office on Wednesday.
These ten villages are to host international and national delegates in their villages on the fourth day of the Indigenous Terra Madre (ITM) 2015 slated for November.
The spread consisted of indegenous dishes made with wild edibles, snacks, salads, chutneys, broths and meats as samplings of what the communities will be serving to the visiting delegates.
In preparation, the ten communities gathered on Wednesday presented their menus to the Flavour Development Department of NESFAS in hopes to take away reviews on the food prepared by them so as to be able to improve upon them , as per requirement.
The food tasting staff gave positive reviews of the dishes. “Healthy on the stomach, delightful on the plate,” said one of them.
