NOURISHING COMMUNION: AN AFROCHESAPEAKE FEAST IN THE CULINARY LINEAGE OF JAMES HEMINGS
Brought to you by Chesapeake Conjure Society
In collaboration with Our Time Kitchen and Chef+ Food Historian Maynard McMillan of Nafasi Catering we bring to you a one-of-a-kind Black culinary experience situated in Baltimore, Maryland supporting two Black owned businesses.
Chef Maynard will lead us in a discussion and hands-on culinary workshop on the history of Afro-Chesapeake cuisine, along with resident historians of the Chesapeake Conjure Society.
We will be cooking and communing together in the culinary lineage of James Hemings (progenitor of American Macaroni & Cheese).
We will hold ceremony, fellowship, and space for learning before we sit-down to a family style meal in a heated outdoor space.
Seasonal, locally sourced food + elevated food preparation.
13 spaces available at $140 per person.
Tickets are offered at cost (meaning that Chesapeake Conjure Society does not make a profit from this event, costs are split between venue, chef & staff, food, and beverages. Chesapeake Conjure Society members also pay the same price.) to support local Black owned businesses that hire community members.
No Spaces will be Held. First Come, First Served.
