Om Swasty astu
Welcome food-lovers, to the 2016 Ubud Food Festival! I am absolutely thrilled that we’re back for a second helping.
Sebelumnya saya ingin mengucapkan selamat datang kepada seluruh peserta dan pengunjung tahun kedua Ubud Food Festival di Ubud, Bali.
This year, we’ve centred our program on the concept of ‘Go Local’, enriching our thinking about the context of food in our culture; where it comes from, the hands that cultivate it, and how it fits into the social, cultural and geographical landscapes that surround it. We are proud to showcase not only the very best of Ubud’s chefs and restaurants, but everyone who forms part of our vibrant culinary community: from farming cooperatives, to innovative producers and entrepreneurial foodies.
Saya merasa bahagia atas kembalinya UFF di tahun 2016 ini setelah menuai banyak pujian di tahun 2015, tahun pertama UFF. UFF bersama Ubud Writers & Readers Festival dan Bali Emerging Voices Festival adalah kontribusi kami di Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati guna turut serta mengembangkan kesenian dan kebudayaan Indonesia. Tercatatnya Ubud dalam daftar 10 kota yang wajib dikunjungi oleh TripAdvisor pada 2016 membuat saya merasa bangga dan hal ini juga mempertegas status Ubud sebagai pusat seni dan kuliner Pulau Bali. Bisa dibilang ketiga festival dari Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati tersebut adalah akses bagi masyarakat dunia untuk mengenal Bali dan Ubud lebih dalam.
This year, we’ve put a lot of thought into building a buzzing foodie location at our Festival Hub @ Taman Kuliner, where you’ll find a melting pot of local cuisines, Ubud restaurants, coffee, wine, markets, music, live performances, tastetestings and much, much more. It’s also home to our ‘Think, Talk, Taste’ sessions and only a one minute walk from our Kitchen Stage, where you’ll find the festival’s hottest cooking demonstrations and competitions. So crunch, nibble, slurp and sip your way across the next three days, feasting in the 90+ events we have on offer. Selamat makan dan menikmati! Janet DeNeefe Festival Founder & Director 4
Ubud Food Festival dan festival-festival saudaranya tidak mungkin dapat terwujud tanpa bantuan teman-teman panitia, partners, dan warga Ubud yang saling membantu bekerja sama tanpa lelah. Maka saya mengucapkan terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya, semoga apa yang telah kita kerjakan membawa kebaikan bagi setiap individunya dan mengharumkan nama Indonesia. Om Çanti, Çanti, Çanti Om. Drs. Ketut Suardana, M. Phil Chairman Mudra Swari Saraswati Foundation
berbagai tradisi dan norma yang terkait. Maka kuliner juga dapat dipandang sebagai refleksi pencapaian kebudayaan dan peradaban manusia. Bahan-bahan yang digunakan mencerminkan kekayaan alam sebuah bangsa, sedangkan tehnik pengolahan dan penyajian menunjukkan pencapaian teknologi dan kreativitasnya.
O m S w a st yas t u Salam sejahtera untuk kita semua, Puji syukur kita panjatkan kehadapan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa karena berkat rahmatNYa, acara Ubud Food Festival ini dapat terlaksana. Ubud merupakan destinasi wisata yang ikonik bagi Bali karena kemampuannya dalam menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai kearifan lokal. Ubud Food Festival dalam konteks ini merupakan salah satu kegiatan budaya kreatif untuk memperkenalkan kearifan lokal Bali, khususnya di ranah kuliner. Kuliner sesungguhnya bukan hanya urusan lidah dan perut. Kuliner juga menyangkut bahan baku, cara pengolahan, seni penyajian, serta
“Apa yang anda makan” dan “Di mana anda makan”, dua pertanyaan yang menegaskan betapa kuliner kini telah menjadi penanda status sosial dan intelektual, menegaskan betapa hidangan telah menjadi bagian penting dari identitas dan gaya hidup manusia modern. Kehadiran Ubud Food Festival menjadi suatu hal yang penting guna memberikan pemaknaan terhadap kekayaan kuliner tradisional Nusantara, khususnya Bali. Pemaknaan tersebut diharapkan akan menjembatani nilai-nilai kearifan lokal Bali, yang tercermin pada khasanah kuliner-nya, dengan tantangan dan peluang masa kini: sebuah perjamuan kebudayaan yang menyandingkan lokal dengan global.
