Organised by Malmö Food Council, One Dish for Malmö is a citywide competition to create Malmö’s official signature dish. Rooted in plant-based, local and sustainable ingredients, the initiative celebrates the city’s diversity, creativity and progressive food culture. After a public semi-final, the three finalists will compete live during the Malmö Festival on August 18. The winning dish will be named Malmö’s signature dish and serve as a culinary ambassador for the city.
