Open Day at EHTA: A Showcase of Local and Sustainable Products

On November 28, the Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo do Algarve (EHTA) will open its doors for a unique exhibition of local and sustainable products, featuring a showcooking session as part of the GrowLIFE project. The aim is clear: to promote healthier and more sustainable food consumption.

The GrowLIFE project, coordinated by the Faculty of Sciences at Universidade Nova, collaborates with 12 hospitality and tourism schools across Portugal. Its mission is to cultivate life, change consumer behavior, ensure farmers' livelihoods, and protect the environment.

What to Expect on the Open Day

The Open Day for Producers at EHTA will take place from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, offering an exceptional learning and sharing experience among producers, students, trainers, and the public. This initiative is in partnership with Revitalgarve and the Câmara Municipal de Faro.

Visitors will enjoy:

  • A showcase of local and organic products brought by farmers themselves.
  • An innovative showcooking session where students and trainers will prepare these ingredients.
  • An open discussion on the future of food and the significance of local agriculture.

As future culinary professionals, students will have the opportunity to understand the benefits of local sourcing and fully appreciate the products, fostering their creativity. The focus will be on reducing food waste, rethinking cooking techniques, and recovering underused ingredients in Algarve cuisine, highlighted by the 3Rs: Reduce, Rethink, Recover.

The show cooking aims to encourage consumers to incorporate these local products into their diets through practical and sustainable methods, showcasing innovative ways to utilize these ingredients in the kitchen.

Students specializing in Kitchen Management and Production and Pastry will prepare dishes under the guidance of Chef Abílio Guerreiro and Chef Mariline Pinguinha, using local products such as shiitake mushrooms, goat cheese, and Algarvian honey.

Additionally, students from the Restaurant and Beverage Management program will demonstrate how to creatively integrate these ingredients into mixology and bar offerings.

This event merges tradition and innovation, promoting regional identity while emphasizing sustainability as a core pillar for the future of food. The Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo do Algarve invites the community to participate in this Open Day where tradition meets innovation at the table.
