Intentional Cooking: Ancestors

I can't tell you enough about how important it is to be intentional! One of the reasons I was able to manifest my own dinner series with Pineapple Beach Club was because of the intent I set with making sure that everything- from the flavors to the smells and also the presentation and techniques used - spoke heavily to the Caribbean & West Indian influences. In intermingling the distinctive herbs, spices, cooking techniques and methods of each culture- mixed with my own Southern Cali Pizzaz- I was able to curate a fully immersive experience for the dinner while honoring the culture and the land, which is always a beautiful nod to the Ancestors! 

Want to be more intentional with honoring YOUR Ancestors at home? You know...they are always waiting to be invited to the table.

One way to usher in good tidings and homage for your Ancestors is to cook dishes that are significant to your ancestors. If you are on my mailing list, then I KNOW you love food and I'm sure your Ancestors did as well. Create your own immersive experience at home by recreating recipes passed down from previous generations. This can be especially exciting for blended families! Here are a few more ways to honor your Ancestors through Food and Culinary experiences:

📑Teach the next generation how to prepare dishes you learned as a child or from a relative.

🎊Share meals with family and friends on occasions that celebrate milestones, anniversaries, or other remembrance for your Ancestors. 

✈️Visit cultural landmarks and try new cuisines that center around your culture. In doing so, we honor the Ancestors.
