In September the Kunsthal will be transformed into the 'Rungis of Rotterdam', just like Paris, a mustering point for Real Taste. Under the title 'KunsthalCOOKING, Festival of Real Taste', the Kunsthal will be presenting an all-new event lasting four days and nights, highlighting the cultural aspects of eating and drinking during which honest food, traditional products, small-scale producers and regional specialities will determine the content.

This elaborate event, which is to take place in different halls at the Kunsthal, will include demonstrations, tastings, discussions and debates.

The aim is to save culinary traditions and old-fashioned, small-scale ways of preparing food and drink from extinction by combining culture and the culinary arts and prompting a process of awareness among a wide audience.
