Saturday, April 18 from 2:00-4:00pm, join us for a live demonstration of a traditional Eritrean coffee ceremony with Chef Senait from Cafe Anbesa. Chef Senait comes with decades of experience owning and running her own restaurant in Asmara, Eritrea. For Senait, cooking has been a part of her life since she was a small child and the feeling of community connecting together around food is the spirit she brings to Café Anbesa.
This program will be presented in Tigrinya, with live English translations.
This program is in partnership with Oakland Bloom. Oakland Bloom’s mission is to advance economic equity in the food industry. It aims to support poor and working-class refugee, immigrant, and BIPOC chefs to launch their own food businesses, and to reenvision and reshape what a healthy and just food service industry could look like. It pursues these aims by enabling pathways for individual & collective ownership and neighborhood resilience with working class migrant/BIPOC chefs and communities.
This program is made possible by the Friends of the Oakland Public Library.
