Andrés presented a video showcasing clips of his trips to Haiti, which he took to explore the country’s culinary riches as well as its culture and history. He encouraged the audience to travel to the country and “not to give Haiti pity but...respect.”
In an interview after the event, Andrés shared a list of recommendations for foodies in the Boston area, which included Salts in Central Square, Toro in South End, and Drink in South Boston.
Along with Ferran Adrià of the famous Spanish restaurant elBulli, Andrés plays an active role in recruiting chefs for the series. Joanne Chang ’91 of Flour Bakery and Ted Russin from the Culinary Institute of America will be featured in upcoming lectures.
The lecture series will continue every Monday at 7 p.m. until Dec. 9.
