Experience the rich flavors and vibrant culture of West Africa on this culinary tour of “Little Africa,” located in Southwest Philadelphia around Woodland Ave. Home to one of the largest West African communities in the United States, this area is now being recognized for its profound influence on American cuisine. Delight your taste buds with traditional dishes like jollof rice, braised goat, cassava leaf stew, and more. For a deeper appreciation of the history and cultural impact of West African cuisine, before the tour consider watching the documentary “High on the Hog” or reading the accompanying book for an in-depth history of how enslaved West Africans influenced American food.
