In the village of Īdeņa, located on the shores of Lake Lubāns, Anna Macāne runs a local culinary establishment where she serves dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy a variety of meals such as fish soup and oven-baked zander alongside home-grown vegetables like beets, carrots, potatoes, and pumpkins, all of which are prepared with great care and a touch of local flavor. Macāne emphasizes that the dishes are not only her favorites but also crafted to share the authentic taste of the region with visitors.

Visitors from Rēzekne have come to experience the local flavors offered during the region's culinary month, which they learned about through a newspaper advertisement. They expressed enthusiasm over the unique tastes available in the area, discovering innovative dishes that differ from their usual seafood choices. For instance, they tried zander, a fish they had not eaten before, prepared in ways that sparked their curiosity and appreciation.

The initiative by the "Latgales Tūrisma" association aims to promote the culinary heritage of Latgale by encouraging both locals and tourists to explore and partake in its rich culinary landscape. This culinary month serves both as an invitation to appreciate local gastronomy and as a means to support the region's agricultural producers by using their fresh and organic offerings. By showcasing these diverse culinary experiences, it also strengthens the bond between food culture and tourism in Latgale.
