Riyadh food festival comes with added spice
Organizers of a cooking competition planned as part of the Saudi Feast Food festival have added a little spice to the event, with winners in line for cash prizes of up to SR30,000 ($8,000).
The Culinary Arts Commission launched the second edition of the festival in Hittin, Riyadh, on Wednesday.
Participants in the competition will prepare Saudi dishes, with three winners chosen each day of the two-week festival.
Candidates can register on the commission’s platform, and the competition will run until the final day of the event.
The festival will introduce and highlight a range of Saudi dishes, including regional specialties, and explain their characteristics.
Visitors to the food court will be offered a variety of traditional Saudi favorites and learn about the origins of the dishes.
Children will be able to prepare simple dishes, while adult visitors can walk around a palm tree area to learn about the types of dates grown in the Kingdom.
Local and international chefs will also demonstrate their skills as part of the festival.
