I 2022 fikk Trondheim og Trøndelag status som European Region of Gastronomy. Satsingen ble rigget som et hovedprosjekt med flere mål og delprosjekt. Hovedprosjektet er nå gjennomført, og vi har laget en rapport med noe av aktiviteten fra året.
Rapporten heter “A summary of activities and actions” og inneholder bilder og beskrivelser av utvalgte aktiviteter fra 2022.
Rapporten er skrevet på engelsk og her er en kort oppsummering av noe av innholdet:
