Haudenosaunee Boiled Cornbread Workshop

Culinary Literacy Center

Celebrating Indigenous culture with Haudenosaunee boiled cornbread

The Culinary Literacy Center at Parkway Central Library

Native people from the six nations that make up the <a href="https://www.haudenosauneeconfederacy.com/who-we-are/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Haudenosaunee Confederacy</a> have been growing, processing, and cooking Haudenosaunee White Corn, or flour corn, for hundreds of years. Join us in celebration of <a href="https://ipdphilly.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Indigenous People&#x27;s Day</a> to learn about these processes and culinary applications from the owner of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tomahawktacos/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tomahawks Indigenous Taco and Cornbread Shop</a>. This program will be a literal hands-on class showcasing the making, cooking, and eating of traditional Haudenosaunee boiled cornbread—a round, boiled bread that is dense and moist, and made with <a href="https://www.onondaganation.org/blog/2011/cooking-with-ashes/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">nixtamalized</a> corn. This will also provide a foundation for conversation on Haudenosaunee culture in general, food sovereignty, and what it means to decolonize our diets. All proceeds from ticket sales go towards supporting the Culinary Literacy&#x27;s Center programs for youth, neighborhood engagement, and English language learning. Free tickets are available for SNAP eligible families and for anyone who cannot afford the fee right now but would still like to participate.
