Teaching Kitchen - Celebrating Black History Month at Keele Campus

Celebrate Black History Month: Exploring Traditional Cuisine and Cultural Connections

Join us in celebrating Black History Month with this classic southern dessert- banana pudding! Chef Donna will guide you through each step, from layering the custard to perfectly arranging the wafers and bananas. During this in-person event you’ll get to meet and chat with our Public Health Nurses and Dietitian, as we explore the historical significance of this delicious dish and its deep roots in Black culinary traditions. Together, we’ll discuss how culture shapes both food and wellness, while exploring nutrition and health along the way.

Come for the cooking, stay for the conversation and leave with a deeper appreciation for both the flavours and the stories that shape black culture.

Whether you're new to cooking or a seasoned pro, this event is perfect for anyone looking to learn, have fun and explore the rich heritage of Black culture and cuisine.

Don’t forget to bring your own takeout container to enjoy any leftovers!
If you have been prescribed an EpiPen, please bring it with you to the event.

This event is exclusively for York University Students.

Mark your calendars and register now. We can't wait to see you there!
