Chef Dená Brummer Presents African Foodways Workshop (Photo – denabrummer.com)
What better way to experience history than through the kitchen? In this workshop, Chef Denà Brummer will share the delights, comforts, revelations, and recipes of Black foodways.
Chef Brummer and the City of Pasadena offer this unique peek into African and world history twice in February.
African cooking techniques, traditions, and flavors have traveled all over the world. This culinary diaspora was shaped initially by the brutalities of the transatlantic slave trade, which forced African people separated from their homelands to retain and reinvent traditional dishes, find and experiment with substitute ingredients, and pass down to their children the cultural significance of particular foods to nourish the soul as well as the body.
For ages 18+.
