Russian Gusto will bring together farmers, chefs, restaurateurs, and lovers of culinary experiments from Russia, France, England, Morocco, Finland, Estonia, and other countries.

The organizers of the festival had this to say of the event: “The modern state needs a new cuisine that would reflect the traditions of our ancestors and the innovation of the future, and would symbolize the uniqueness and identity of the Moscow area. It is worth adding to that the ideas and values of modern society and the desire for a healthy lifestyle.”
At the heart of the festival lies the concept of the international eco-gastronomic organization Slow Food International, which has supported farming and local products throughout the world for more than 25 years.
