#7 Breaking Bread

Cassave bread with Lelani Lewis

EN

During Manifestation #4 Keti Koti Westerpark X Buro Stedelijk several manifestations will be held at the Meterhuisje. On Sunday June 18th Lelani Lewis live-cooks cassava bread and mojo roast pork at the Meterhuisje from 14.00. Join us for some food while the stocks last. Learn more about the intersection between food and colonialism at this live cooking demonstration.

Lelani Lewis started Code Noir in 2017 and opened Atelier Code Noir in early 2023. Becoming obsessed with developing a mainstream platform for Caribbean food, Lelani wants to demonstrate how unique and diverse Caribbean cuisine is through events. She combines her love of bringing people together around the table and paying homage to those who came before her. Hailing from South London with Grenadian and Irish heritage, Lelani grew up amongst the diversity of cuisine.

Tijdens Manifestatie #4 Keti Koti Westerpark X Buro Stedelijk zijn er verschillende manifestaties in het Meterhuisje. Op zondag 18 juni kookt Lelani Lewis live cassavebrood en mojo roast pork in het Meterhuisje vanaf 14.00 uur. Kom proeven zolang de voorraad strekt. Leer meer over de intersectie tussen eten en kolonialisme tijdens deze live kookdemonstratie.

Lelani Lewis begon Code Noir in 2017 en opende Atelier Code Noir begin 2023. Lelani raakte geobsedeerd door het ontwikkelen van een toegankelijk platform voor Caribisch eten en wil door middel van evenementen laten zien hoe uniek en divers de Caribische keuken is. Ze combineert haar liefde voor het samenbrengen van mensen rond de tafel met een eerbetoon aan degenen die voor haar kwamen. Geboren en getogen in Zuid-Londen met Grenadiaanse en Ierse roots, groeide Lelani op tussen de diversiteit van de keuken.
