Sweet Potatoes Fritters for Kwanzaa
December 27, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Chef Tonii will prepare South African Sweet Potato Fritters and West African inspired Hot Sauce from the book A Kwanzaa Keepsake.
A Kwanzaa Keepsake by Dr. Jessica B. Harris, author of High on the Hog, is more than just a cookbook. It is “a day-by-day guide to celebrating Kwanzaa that honors and affirms African- American culture, food, and family.”
Enjoy South African Sweet Potato Fritters with West African inspired Homemade Hot Sauce prepared by Philly’s Chef Tonii at Widener Library.
Together, we consider the symbols of Kwanzaa, their meaning, and how to live Kwanzaa’s Seven Principles, the Nguzo Saba, all year long.
- Umoja → Unity
- Kujichagulia → Self-Determination
- Ujima → Collective Work and Responsibility
- Ujamaa → Cooperative Economics
- Nia → Purpose
- Kuumba → Creativity
- Imani → Faith
Check out A Kwanzaa Keepsake and other books about Kwanzaa at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
