Besides enjoying traditional dishes, visitors will have a chance to learn the culinary history of Binh Thuan.
Traditional dishes are made from materials available in the locality, chefs said, adding that those seemingly simple dishes bring an unforgettable flavour.
For Viet Tien, an overseas Vietnamese from Canada, The Lost Recipes offers him a chance to learn dishes from his homeland that he had not enjoyed in the past.
Thai Ngoc Hieu, head of the Binh Thuan Chefs Association, said the event helps connect chefs, thus reviving lost dishes of the locality, contributing to diversifying tourism products.
With numerous activities to promote tourism, Binh Thuan is set to welcome 9.5 million visitors in 2024. In the first two months of this year, Binh Thuan served more than 1.5 million arrivals, up 7.3% over the same period last year, earning nearly 3.8 trillion VND (over 152.2 million USD) in revenue./.
