REEF Encounters 2024 will pay homage to the rich and diverse culinary traditions passed down through generations by women in rural communities. This celebration spans three days, during which three exceptionally talented women, along with their dedicated kitchen associates, will don their chef hats to present their unique culinary specialties. These rural dinners will not only highlight their cooking skills but will also showcase the ancestral tradition of foraging, demonstrating the deep connection between the land and the table. Each meal will be a journey through time, honoring the wisdom and resourcefulness of rural women who have preserved these practices and recipes.
