AfroEats Pilot Issue

With the help of Westway Trust, in 2018 I produced a short zine exploring the stories and perspectives of two Afro-Caribbean home-cooks living in London. The project was to serve as a pilot for a later full-fledged production. Quote from the zine "For the African diaspora, our connection with our cultural foods has depended mostly on the knowledge of our grandparents, parents, uncles and aunties who preserved cooking traditions specific to Afro-Caribbean cultures in their hearts and memories of home, giving us the opportunity to embrace parts of our history and our ethnicities on a plate. As part of the Sao Tomean diaspora, an Island in West Africa, eating Calulu De Peixe was always more accessible to me than the music I didn't quite understand and the plane ticket I couldn't afford. However, Afro-Caribbean people have been in Britain for long enough to develop food practices that are more specific to their British experience. And so, Afro-Cook is a zine that hopes to explore the developments of Afro-Caribbean British food that happen in our homes."
