Cooking with the 3 Nshutis: A Taste of Africa Through Food & Stories
About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable culinary journey across Africa! “Cooking with the 3 Nshutis” is more than just a cooking class, it’s a cultural experience. Each session combines the art of African cooking with the wisdom of African folk tales and proverbs, creating a unique blend of storytelling, community, and flavor.

Originally started with the Inshutis during two semesters of the HLA, this class is blossoming into a community-wide experience. Inspired by their passion for teaching and sharing culture, the Nshutis are bringing back this program to raise funds for a special trip to their home country.

This is a journey to reconnect, give back, and celebrate heritage and community!

For anyone 15 and up!

What to Expect:

  • Hands-on cooking guided by the 3 Nshutis
