The standard American diet has taken most of us away from healthier traditional ways of eating. This 6-week series celebrates the culinary history of the African Diaspora by exploring a recipes that rely much more on plant-based, whole foods and less on animal products and highly processed foods, which are loaded with hidden sodium, sugars, and unhealthy fats. If you want to cook well, eat well and live well, please join us.
