Afro-Brazilian cuisine is much more than a combination of ingredients and recipes; it is a living heritage that carries centuries of memory, faith, creativity, and resilience. Born from the forced encounter between enslaved African peoples, Indigenous populations, and European colonizers, this gastronomy emerged as a form of cultural preservation and reinvention in the face of adversity. In Afro-Brazilian religions, cooking is also a sacred act. Many recipes have been preserved within Candomblé and Umbanda terreiros, where food is offered to the origás and shared as a symbol of community and connection. Eating, in this context, becomes an act of reconnection with ancestors and a means of transmitting cultural knowledge. We’ll visit some historical sites and afterwards we’ll have the Afro-Brazilian culinary experience led by Black chefs. At each location, tastings will be offered, showcasing the richness of flavors and traditions that have shaped the country’s identity.
