Nigerian chef, Kavachi Ukegbu is spreading the culture during Black History Month with her signature Art of FuFu Cookbook Experience. The Art of Fufu is a signature outreach event that is designed to spread awareness of the rich heritage of West African cuisine.

What started as a one-off event that was spearheaded by Kavachi’s parent company Grubido in 2017, has become a cultural delight that has spawned Art of Fufu food and beverage tastings, art shows, and cooking classes.

The Art of FuFu event has even been reimagined as a cookbook that can now be purchased at Central Market, Whole Foods, Soa Co Book Store, and Amazon.

This month those wishing to learn more about their African roots can enjoy an Art of FuFu cookbook cooking class on Thursday, February 23, followed by a paint and FuFu party on Friday, February, 24, and a full 5-course dining experience on Saturday, February 25, to close out the weekend.

Each event will be curated by Kavachi and will be hosted in one of Houston’s artsy urban influenced neighborhoods including Third Ward, Southwest, and the Heights.

The cooking series will be in partnership with Big Brother & Big Sister, and the black-owned female book store Soa Co for Paint and FuFu.
