Travel with us through the ‘Tastes of Europe’
‘EXTRA’: On the 6th May from 12:00 to 13:00 (CET)
One of our main events will be the LIVE cookery demonstration showcasing traditional European dishes on Thursday 6th of May from 12:00 – 13:00 (CET) (this will also be broadcast on the European Parliament website). In advance of the ‘Cook off’ we will have recipes available for download from each of the 27 Member States, selected by Members from your national delegations as their favourite national dishes so that you can cook and eat them at home!
