On Margarita Island, Venezuela, a group of local cooks and culinary students will prepare 300 liters of fosforera, a traditional seafood soup, on September 27th.
Amanda Soriano of the Maneiro Fair Committee announced the event, called "Fosforera: 300 Liters of Flavor," as an effort to standardize and certify the soup’s recipe. The event will take place on Magnesita beach, between the Bahía Dorada and Las Olas residential areas in Maneiro municipality.
The cooks also plan to recognize the traditional clay pot, or marmita, as an important part of the regional cuisine. Several well-known local chefs, including Miguel Soler and María Fernanda Viera, will participate alongside invited guests like David Yamaguchi. Attendees will be able to purchase 200 special combos that include the fosforera served in pottery bowls from the El Cercado workshop, a pairing cocktail, and dessert.
Proceeds from the sales will cover production costs and support training programs for local potters in Nueva Esparta state.
