A Taste of History is an intimate Black History Month dinner experience curated by Culture In A Bowl, celebrating African and African American cuisine through food, culture, and community.
Following the success of our first Detroit dinner party in November, we return to host a thoughtfully crafted evening honoring tradition, storytelling, and heritage on the plate. Guests will enjoy a curated menu featuring Liberian and Southern-inspired dishes, including gumbo, fufu, chuck rice, and plantains — all served in a private, elevated setting.
This dinner is more than a meal. It’s a moment to gather, reflect, and celebrate Black history through flavor, connection, and shared experience.
List of Dishes:
Kala & Pepper Sauce : Lightly fried Liberian dough balls served with a bold, spicy pepper sauce.
Fufu & Pepper Soup:Traditional West African fufu paired with a rich, aromatic pepper soup simmered with warming spices.
Gumbo ( Chicken, & Andouille Sausage): A slow-cooked gumbo made with tender chicken, smoked andouille sausage, and layered spices, served over seasoned rice.
Liberian Chuck Rice & Gravy (Chicken, Fish, Or Mushrooms): Hearty chuck rice served with savory gravy and your choice of chicken, fish, or mushrooms.
Spicy Collard Greens: Slow-simmered collard greens infused with garlic, onions, peppers, and bold seasoning.
Vegan Cornbread: Moist, lightly sweet cornbread made plant-based and baked to perfection.
Liberian Milk Candy & IceCream : A nostalgic Liberian milk candy paired with creamy ice cream for a sweet finish.
