"Pure aesthetic delight… Robustly global, Tribute proposes a big picture form of social engagement: the empowerment – cultural, social, economic – of a once colonized continent." – Variety

Brothers Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca – masterminds behind the triple-hatted El Celler de Can Roca in northern Catalonia – are superstars of the culinary world. After being declared the second best restaurant in the world last year (it has since been voted best restaurant in the world), the trio decide to shut the place down for five weeks and embark upon a monumental journey across South America with the entire kitchen and dining-room staff. Their mission: to return with 57 new dishes informed by the traditions and cultures of the places they visit.

Cooking Up a Tribute is the eye-opening, mouth-watering chronicle of this odyssey from directorial team Luis González and Andrea Gómez. An in-depth and often surprising survey of the peoples and rich culinary traditions of the South American continent, it offers a humane and richly detailed portrait of a world we so often understand solely through its food.

In addition to this session, there is also special tasting session with the Cooking Up a Tribute screening on Tuesday 11 August.
