Taste the World in Marseille

Join Villa Albertine and the VanTrece Hospitality Group for a dinner celebrating food, culture, and Vérane Frédiani’s new book on Marseille’s multicultural culinary scene. This event will include a conversation with the author and a collaborative 8-course tasting menu prepared by iconic Atlanta chef Deborah VanTrece and Congolese chef Hugues Mbenda from Marseille.

Taste the World in Marseille (2024, Abrams Books) is an illustrated cookbook by Vérane Frédiani which offers insights into the multicultural cuisine of Marseille, France’s oldest and second-largest city. Though renowned for its Mediterranean character and vibrant diversity, Marseille remains little understood despite being at the forefront of French cuisine.

The event will kick off at 6:30pm with a discussion with author Vérane Frédiani, translator Alexis Steinman, and Chef Deborah VanTrece on the role of multiculturalism in gastronomy today, moderated by Mike Jordan, Senior Editor at the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Then, at 7pm, we will begin the 8-course tasting menu prepared by chefs Deborah VanTrece and Hugues Mbenda. Each chef will concept and execute 1 passed hors d’oeuvre and 4 dishes inspired by Vérane Frédiani’s book, Taste the World in Marseille. This unique collaboration between Mbenda’s Franco-Congolese cuisine and VanTrece’s globally-influenced soul food will celebrate the multiculturalism of Marseille and Atlanta—and the power of food to connect us.

The dinner will be ticketed at a cost of $175 for 8 courses paired with French wine or $135 for 8 courses paired with sparkling water or iced tea. Reserve your spot today!

During the evening, we will also host a book signing with the author, Vérane Frédiani, and the translator of the English version, Alexis Steinman. Our partner bookstore, A Cappella Books, will be on-site selling copies of Taste the World in Marseille.

Business Opportunities in Guyana
2024-06-26 13:00 | Virtual
Join the U.S. Commercial Service for the third event of the Business Opportunities in the Caribbean Region Webinar Series, featuring USG and private sector experts who will present on business opportunities in Guyana.

Why Guyana?

While geographically part of South America (SA), Guyana, the only English-speaking country in South America, has strong cultural and political ties to the Caribbean.

Its capital Georgetown hosts the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) Secretariat where Guyana’s President Dr. Irfan Ali assumed Chairmanship in early 2024.

The Guyanese 2024 Budget estimated 2023’s real GDP to have grown by 33 percent (non-oil by 11.7 percent) with projections from the World Bank and Guyana anticipating conservative growth of more than 30 per cent for 2024.

Guyana has announced 46 oil discoveries, of which ExxonMobil estimates 11 billion oil equivalent barrels and approximately 17 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves thus far. It is touted as one of the fastest growing economies of the world where World Bank has reclassified the country as high income based on its gross national income in 2023. With three wells in production thus far, Guyana’s oil production is 645,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and anticipated to hit 1.2 million bpd by 2027.

Despite its hydrocarbon resources, the government of Guyana is keen on diversifying the country’s energy matrix as well as its economy as a whole.

Guyana imported $1.4 billion of U.S. goods in 2023.

Who should attend?

Business development representatives from U.S. companies that offer agriculture equipment, medical devices and equipment, energy sector solutions, infrastructure solutions, safety & security equipment, consumer goods, and travel and tourism solutions, would benefit from this event.
