Roots Cuisine is dedicated to promoting the foodways of the global African Diaspora. It is the official organization created to acknowledge and share information about a group of cuisines, cultures, and people who have shaped the world through their struggles, subjugation, triumphs, diversity, and of course through common regional and continental links to Africa. Roots Cuisine aims to document, and by extension, teach about the diverse cuisines of African Diaspora, which includes the continental African, Native American, and European foodways that left their indelible marks upon them.

In this way the site is not your traditional “food blog.” It’s just a place to pay tribute to and hopefully teach about a group of culinary traditions and cultures of which I am proud to call myself apart.

I hope that you will view this site as the labor of love that it is  and if you want to get involved or just contact me to tell me what you think.
