Exploring Our Culinary Roots: African-Canadian Cuisine, Then and Now

Explore African-Canadian cooking then and now. Take a lantern tour of the Officers’ Mess where soldiers once dined and relaxed. Try a historic punch from an 1827 cookbook, A House Servant’s Directory. Drop by the 19th-century kitchen to watch a historic cooking demonstration. Then head to the Blue Barracks where you can enjoy a modern cooking demonstration and sample cuisine prepared by a chef who specializes in foods from the African Diaspora. Chef Warren Ford (from George Brown Culinary Arts program) and Chef Jamie Beeston (from Barbacoa Boyz Catering) will lead two cooking demos with tastings. In partnership with the Ontario Black History Society. Pre-reg required!
