In her Address, Edwige Eppromo, Troofe Project Manager, the brain behind the initiative said: “We have always been witnessing all kinds of promotions of the African wealth, but there is no platform designed for the real African gastronomy. This is therefore the opportunity for us to value the gastronomic culture mainly based on soups and which is the pride of Africa. This culinary value will make our young girls the women of tomorrow.”
“Africa abounds in a multitude of flavors, our last motivation is the desire to bring together all Africans and all other foreign nationals, longing to meet with brothers in a traditional and friendly musical ambience”.
The Fair also offers young women from the African continent the opportunity to exhibit their culinary skills in a cooking contest.
The Culinary Contests between girls from 19 to 25 years of different nationalities is organized.
