Shillong, Mar 24 (PTI) Meghalaya’s Master Chef Nambi Marak will join a mix of local and national culinary talents at SEETI 2.0, a six-day culinary and cultural initiative, to be held in Meghalaya from
March 26, officials said on Tuesday.
The event will bring together chefs, storytellers, creators and cultural voices for a series of curated experiences across the state.
Other participating chefs include Benny Wankhar and Vishesh Jawarani, Adonijah Lyngdoh, Ahme Laloo and Reuben Zamal Sooting.
Organisers said the event aims to spotlight the Northeast’s rich and diverse food traditions by creating a platform that connects local communities with national culinary talent.
The programme will feature curated dining experiences centred on indigenous ingredients, collaborations between regional and visiting chefs, and immersive cultural interactions with local communities.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said the initiative reflects the state’s cultural vibrancy and the creativity of its youth.
“SEETI 2.0 celebrates the spirit of our communities and provides a platform for our youth to innovate and share Meghalaya’s story with the world,” he said in a statement.
Officials said the initiative also aligns with the state’s push towards promoting sustainable and community-linked tourism models rooted in local identity.
Organisers said the Northeastern region remains underrepresented in mainstream culinary narratives despite its rich traditions, and the Meghalaya edition of SEETI seeks to bridge that gap by amplifying local voices and fostering collaborations. PTI JOP NN
