Global Culinary Passport - West Africa

In honor of Black History Month, this session explores West African flavor traditions that form the foundation of much of Diaspora cooking. The focus is on depth, fermentation, and earthy heat, highlighting how time, technique, and intention build soulful, comforting flavor.

Expect cultural storytelling, demonstrations, tasting, and hands-on learning as we explore ancestral approaches to seasoning, stews, and one-pot cooking — and how those techniques continue to influence global cuisine today.

A grounding, flavorful journey into origin and legacy.
