Taste your way through Chef Pamela A. LeonForde’s story during an evening of Afro-Caribbean and globally inspired vegan dishes, storytelling and music. The founder of Café Caye Mangé will guide guests on a culinary journey shaped by migration, culture and community, with each dish reflecting the places, people and traditions that have influenced her life. Inspired by her concept, Roots Without Borders: A Culinary Journey of Heritage, Healing & Home, the evening travels from Saint Lucia and across Africa to England and Nova Scotia.
Through food, storytelling and music, guests will discover how meals can carry stories of identity, belonging, and home. This is an opportunity to experience the rich connections between culture and cuisine while gathering around the table in the spirit of community.
