Traditionally African-American cuisine is a healthy cuisine because it's based on fresh seasonal vegetables. |
We have religious holidays and we have secular holidays. I see Kwanzaa as an opportunity for African-Americans to reaffirm ourselves if we choose to, a chance to rebuild and renew our focus. I see Kwanzaa as a holiday of the spirit. |
When I celebrate with traditional foods, I also incorporate my personal connection to African-American culinary traditions. |
