Grenada is set to make a remarkable culinary statement at the grand finale of the 2025 Festival de la Gastronomie in Marigot, St Martin. Organized by the Grenada Office of Creative Affairs (GOCA), the event titled ‘From the Roots to the Horizon: A Journey of Grenadian History Through Flavours’ will take place on November 22. The Grenadian delegation, led by renowned chefs Anthony Johnson and Joachim Joseph, aims to highlight the island’s rich culinary traditions and innovative gastronomy. Johnson, President of the Grenada Gastronomy and Culinary Arts Association (GGCAA) Inc., expressed pride in representing Grenada and sharing its unique culinary narrative. The presentation will feature two signature dishes: Tri-Island Oil Down, presented in chicken/pork, seafood, and vegan variations, and Sweet Potato Pone with a Twist, incorporating passion fruit as a nod to the festival’s theme. This participation underscores GOCA’s commitment to developing gastronomy as a key sector within Grenada’s creative economy, with significant investments planned for 2026. Senator Adrian Thomas, Minister for Tourism, Creative Economy and Culture, emphasized the importance of supporting culinary creatives through advanced training and infrastructure. The 12-day festival, now in its fifth edition, celebrates Caribbean collaboration, bringing together chefs from Grenada, Dominica, Barbados, Haiti, and Curaçao to showcase the region’s diverse flavors and culinary artistry.
