(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Al Qasba is all set for the return of the Sharjah Food Festival, which this year takes place from March 31-April 9 under the slogan "Many Flavours, One Festival".
Sharjah's premier family and leisure destination will host an array of culinary-related activities and performances during the 10th edition of the popular gourmet-themed event.
Organised by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), the Sharjah Food Festival also takes place in other locations across the emirate, including Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Montazah and Heart of Sharjah. Since its launch in 2007 up until last year, Sharjah Food Festival's activities and events were previously held only in Al Qasba.
However, because of its remarkable success in its first eight editions and the significant numbers of visi-tors and tourists attending, Shurooq's management decided to spread the festival's range of activities last year to take place in four of Sharjah's tourism destinations.
A cooking competition between Shurooq staff, government and private sector employees will see the beginning of the popular 10-day food festival. Entertainment shows, professional chef contests which include chocolate, ice and fruit & vegetable carving, three-tier wedding cake creation, mocktail blending, a baked bread show-piece, five course gourmet dinner menu, barbecuing, coffee art and pizza creation.
The festival will also feature workshops on how to create nutritious meals, oral health, dining etiquette and safety. Capping off a packed agenda, there will be a competition between gourmet chefs.
The festival will have plenty of activities for children, such as the Sesame Street Cooking Academy that will take place near to the Eye of the Emirates along the Al Qasba walkway.
The zone will have a cupcake decoration workshop, vegetable and fruit workshop, an Elmo and Bert sandwich stand and a stall selling the Cookie Monster's famous cookies.
