Class Experience

Throughout the African American and African diaspora, food takes on as many different forms and traditions as the people who make it up.

Enslaved Africans brought their cooking and farming traditions to the Americas, and those were then transformed by the conditions they faced. The heritage of many recipes considered today to be soul food were founded in the crops and techniques first developed by enslaved communities.

Today, Black chefs and restaurant owners are bringing traditional elements into their recipes and adding their own creativity, as well as sharing recipes from all corners of the globe.

But through all the different flavors is the same heart: community.

At Culture Corner Academy, we are passionate about providing an education that focuses on lesser-known and untold histories. Our mission is to create a space that encourages self-expression, critical thinking and collaboration. We offer a variety of classes and programs that span the academic spectrum, from arts and culture to history and language. Our unique approach to education provides students with a comprehensive and meaningful learning experience. Join us and explore the untold stories of the world!

In this class we will prepare a new dish every week. These dishes are all inspired by either the African Diaspora or a staple dish within the African American Culture. Ingredient list is given a week before class or upon enrollment. However, please see supply list below for common seasonings I use that would be helpful to have on hand if you're looking to join us long term. I look forward to meeting your learner!
