KUKU Food Festival brings world flavours to Tallinn's Telliskivi

The organiser of the KUKU food festival, Tiina Kõresoo, aims to create a unique experience in Tallinn's Telliskivi neighbourhood — a "small globe" where food enthusiasts can discover culinary traditions from around the world in a single day.

The creative quarter of Telliskivi in Tallinn will soon host the KUKU food festival, which aims to bring together cuisines and flavours from different corners of the world in one location. According to the festival's organiser Tiina Kõresoo, her vision is to create an experience for visitors where they can familiarise themselves with the characteristics of multiple world cuisines and dishes in a single day.

"I want to create a small globe in Telliskivi," said Kõresoo, explaining that the festival is designed for all food enthusiasts who wish to embark on a flavour-filled journey of discovery without needing to board a plane. The Telliskivi creative quarter has become a hub for cultural events in Tallinn, making it the perfect location to host such a diverse food festival.

The KUKU festival offers participants the opportunity to taste dishes from different national cuisines and learn about food preparation traditions from across the world. The organiser hopes that the event will bring together both local food enthusiasts and visitors seeking new gastronomic experiences in the heart of Tallinn.
