This year’s speakers include Michelin starred chef Sat Bains, Paul Ivic of Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant Tian in Vienna and Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen of Europe’s first under-water restaurant.

FOTE is a two day food symposium that takes place annually in Galway – the venue this year is The Bailey Allen Hall at the National University of Ireland.

Speaking at the FOTE launch was the Irish Ambassador to Spain, Ms.Sile Maguire, who said: “Irish people know more about Spanish food than the other way around. There are two million visits a year from Ireland to Spain which proves the very strong relationship between the two countries.”

Signature culinary delights served on the night were prepaered by Albert Adriá, Quique Dacosta, Eduard Xatruch and Ireland’s own JP McMahon.  Albert Adriá of the famed el Barri group in Barcelona created an unusual nube de tequila.

Eduard Xatruch served a multi-spherical tatin of foie gras and corn. Quique Dacosta, of the three Michelin starred Quique Dacosta, served quests a rodaja de tomato slice and JP McMahon prepared ramsons oyster, seaweed and ramsons.
