Seoul Forest Park will host a vibrant open-air culinary event on Sunday, transforming into an urban oasis for young residents and their families. The Youth and Family Healthy Food Picnic aims to promote healthy eating as an accessible and enjoyable lifestyle, rather than a restrictive diet. The autumn festival, set to run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. around the park's outdoor stage, offers a unique opportunity to explore the world of plant-forward cooking.
At the heart of the event is the "Youth Healthy Table" cooking competition, a dynamic showcase featuring ten finalist chefs who have been chosen through a nationwide recipe contest. These young culinary talents will transform October's local seasonal produce, including spinach, Napa cabbage, sweet potatoes, and wild mushrooms, into an array of creative, balanced dishes.
A panel of esteemed professional chefs and citizens will evaluate the entries, considering factors such as taste, nutrition, and originality, to crown the ultimate winner.
