  • This African American and Pan African is a celebration of camaraderie and creativity in the kitchen and beyond. Here's how culinary historian Tony Hopkins exercises the seven principles of Kwanzaa through a culinary lens.

The article from Food & Wine discusses the seven principles of Kwanzaa, known as the Nguzo Saba, which are celebrated from December 26 to January 1. Each day of Kwanzaa focuses on one of these principles: Umoja (Unity), emphasizing the importance of togetherness in family, community, and race; Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), where individuals define and speak for themselves; Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), promoting collective problem-solving; Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), encouraging economic cooperation within the community; Nia (Purpose), focusing on collective goals for community building; Kuumba (Creativity), where one leaves their community more beautiful and beneficial than they found it; and Imani (Faith), believing in the community's leaders, the righteousness of the struggle, and the victory to come. The article also touches on how these principles are integrated into Kwanzaa celebrations through various activities, food, and rituals, highlighting the cultural significance and the community-building aspect of the holiday.
