Baking has always been an essential part of the daily life of West Phoenicians in the kitchen. Bread, sweets and other foods for years were always baked from scratch. By the 1980s as supermarkets expanded their products more and more citizens choose the easier option of purchasing pre-baked goods.

A baking revolution began after 2010 where many citizens have returned to baking as a healthy alternative than store brought. Increased baking at home and television shows have paved the way for a large number personal bakery stores and cottage industries opening throughout the country. Selling everything from artisan breads to elaborate cakes.
A number of competitions and festivals have also risen over the years to reward the artistic expression many put into their designs.
The West Phoenician Women's Association is one of the biggest supporters of the booming bakery industry. With 300,000 members and 2000 branched across the nation.

The City-state of Agape is the biggest wine producer in the country, having the most vineyards and making up 70% of all wine production in the nation. The City-state of New Rome and Mythologica are the other two producers of wine.
All three city-states celebrate the art of wine making by hosting a number of wine festivals and competitions through out the year to showcase this art. Liberalia on March 17th is a national holiday and one of the biggest events for this industry.
Other festivals such as Dionysia and Bacchanalia are celebrated by many city-states to celebrate the West Phoenician deities responsible for vineyards and wine. Aside from excess amounts of drinking and revelry during these festivals, a number of theatre plays are performed during this time. Sexual promiscuous behaviour at these events are encouraged as a way to honour the wine deities.
Aside from festivals, wine tours are another opportunity for citizens and tourists to understand the process of winemaking as well as partake in each step of the process from helping to plant new vines, remove grapes from wine, crush them under feet and the bottling process.
