We speak a lot of sugar but we do not often arise the genuine questions and matters on the subject. Food Art Week analyze the following themes by different means.

Questions such as :

What are the environmental, political, historical, social consequences of the sugar? How sugar affects our health? How much sugar hides in our food?
The sugar is often connected to the feminine, the sweetness, the kindness, love, ‘ childhood. What emotional relations have we with the sugar?
Is it a necessity or a dependence?
Which are the alternatives to sugar?

This may be a challenge for the chefs but also for the audience that will be lucky to discover the whole new world, connecting Art and Food. Love and Science as wdell as new cities and perspectives.
