Tajikistan
Join us on October 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM at Dushanbe’s Iram Botanical Garden, where, with support from the UN World Food Programme (WFP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the Russian Social and Industrial Foodservice Institute (SIFI), a true culinary celebration will unfold.

The festival, dubbed a Secret of Six Tastes, promises to be an unforgettable day for kids and parents, where everyone can dive into the fascinating world of flavors while learning how to make healthy and delicious meals. This exciting event, held in honor of World Food Day, is perfect for anyone looking to celebrate the occasion and rethink their approach to nutrition.

The theme for World Food Day 2024 is ‘Right to Foods for a Better Life and a Better Future.’ After all, everyone, regardless of age, deserves access to tasty, healthy, and diverse food. So, what better way to spread this message than through fun and interactive games?

During the Secret of Six Tastes Festival, young food enthusiasts and their families are invited to explore the world of flavors. Picture this: six zones, each dedicated to one of the basic tastes—sweet, salty, sour, bitter, astringent, and spicy. Kids will get hands-on experience through interactive games and challenges, try out some surprising foods, and earn coins for completing tasks correctly. These coins can then be traded for fun prizes—because what’s a celebration without gifts?

More than this, the event will feature a lively theatrical performance, where favorite characters will explain the importance of eating a varied diet.

There’s a special treat for parents, too. A well-known Tajik food blogger will host a cooking masterclass, sharing tips on how to easily prepare delicious and healthy dishes that the whole family will enjoy. Participants are invited to discover how everyday ingredients can be transformed into culinary delights.

“The Secret of Six Tastes Festival is a fantastic way to show children that healthy eating can be fun. Together, we can help build a foundation for a healthier and happier future,” SIFI President Vladimir Chernigov says.

The Secret of Six Tastes Festival is more than just a fun event—it’s a chance to spend a great time with family, learn how to eat healthy, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience. Games, excitement, delicious discoveries, and plenty of positive vibes are ahead. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable celebration!
