On Saturday 18th July, Sudan’s eclectic and vibrant cuisine and literature will be explored at The Black-E Liverpool
The Sudanese Culinary Arts and Literature event explores the meaning of home through food, art, and storytelling, in collaboration with the London-based publisher, the Almas Art Foundation.
Centred around the work of British-Sudanese food archivist - and author of The Sudanese Kitchen - Omer Tijani, the event brings together recipes, oral histories, and cultural narratives that preserve and celebrate Sudan’s heritage. Sudanese food will also be available for all attendees!
The Sudanese Kitchen began as a long-term documentation project and website led by Omer Al Tijani, and developed into a landmark cookbook and cultural archive that collects over 100 recipes and contextual essays, as well as personal and field photographs to present Sudan’s culinary diversity.
The event will be hosted by Sherif Dhaimish
