Our mission is to connect customers to new cookbooks by Black authors that inspire creativity as well as preserve food traditions. Staff accomplishes this by hosting virtual author events & discussions, cooking demonstrations and culinary storytelling.

This independent bookstore exists to support and amplify the works of underrepresented voices in the food and publishing industries. It also pays homage to the mothers, grandmothers, and ancestors who have created edible, magical moments in the kitchen.
