The Week of Taste will celebrate its 20th edition all over France between October 10th and 18th, 2009. In Nice, from October 12th to 16th, schoolchildren will discover, during lunch, the four basic tastes (sweet, salty, sour, and bitter) through various culinary preparations. They will also be offered blended fruits and vegetables, homemade preparations, labeled meats, as well as an organic product each day of the week.
Additionally, taste initiation booklets focusing on nutritional balance and gastronomy will be made available to educational institutions by the Culinazur association, which groups together teachers from the hotel management schools of the Academy.
In the city’s multi-welcome establishments and family nursery sectors, young children will participate in activities centered around the taste and colors of food: painting and cutting out fruits and vegetables, creating picture books and mobiles, discovering flavors from around the world, shows, etc.
The objective of this week: develop education and learning for the young consumer while having fun, and promote eating habits that align with a balanced lifestyle.
