Sitalbanat Muktari, That Hausa Vegan
Saturday, September 28, 2024, 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
Stop by the Foodwise Classroom for a cooking demo featuring the seasonal bounty of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, as part of Pop-Ups on the Plaza: Fall Kickoff on September 28, 2024.
Sitalbanat Muktari is a Nigerian American chef whose vision is to introduce Hausa food and culture to the world, and to embark on a healing journey through food and find resolution around living with chronic pain. Growing up, Sital’s engagement in the kitchen started at the young age of five, helping her mother prepare fresh baby food for her siblings. As a young woman, some of her responsibilities included cooking meals for what quickly became a nuclear family of eight. At home, Sital grew up on signature Nigerian and Hausa dishes like Tuwo da miyan kuka (baobab), jollof rice, Acca (fonio), zogale (moringa) and Patte (porridge) that are prepared on the weekend, as a family.
Through That Hausa Vegan, Sital is excited to bring Hausa food to the Diaspora, and is very grateful to Oakland Bloom for the opportunity to reimagine and showcase authentic Hausa food. Be sure to visit her booth at Pop-Ups on the Plaza: Fall Kickoff.
All demos take place in the Foodwise Classroom (under the tents in front of the Ferry Building) and are free to the public, with recipes and samples for all.
