Afromeals: The number 1 African and Caribbean Cooking School in the United State!
Afromeals: The #1 African and Caribbean Cooking School in the United States!
We’re proud that Afromeals is the top-ranking African and Caribbean cooking school not only in Cincinnati and Dayton or even Ohio but in the United States! With two thriving locations and a growing online community, we’ve taught over 1,000 students the beauty, flavor, and culture of African and Caribbean cuisine.
This milestone is more than just number, it’s a celebration of culture, connection, and community through food.
More Than Just Cooking, We Teach Culture
At Afromeals, we do more than teach recipes, we share stories, preserve traditions, and honor heritage through every spice and stir. Our cooking classes give participants the chance to explore the rich tapestry of African and Caribbean food culture—from Jollof rice and jerk chicken to puff puff and curry sauces.
For many, it’s a reconnection with their roots.
For others, it’s a first-time journey into flavors they’ve never known they needed.
For all, it’s an experience that feeds both the body and the soul.
Reconnecting the Diaspora Through Food
Our cooking classes create space for people from the African diaspora, those with ancestral ties to Africa and the Caribbean to reconnect with the culinary traditions of their heritage. Every dish tells a story. Every spice has a purpose. And every class brings people closer to home even if they’ve never been.
We’ve welcomed families, couples, college students, and seasoned foodies into our kitchens. The result? Laughter, learning, and legacy shared over a table full of flavor.
