Join us for a five-course seated dinner with historical storytelling and discussion!

As a fifth-generation New Englander, Chef Nyanyika Banda grew up at the intersection of Black American culture and traditional New England cuisine. Inspired by family traditions—from her great-grandmother smoking littleneck clams in the backyard to baked fish topped with buttery cracker crumbs prepared by her grandmother—this dining experience explores the often-overlooked story of Black foodways in Massachusetts and Cape Cod.

Through storytelling and a thoughtfully curated menu, guests will discover how African American traditions have shaped the culinary landscape of New England while enjoying dishes inspired by local seafood, seasonal produce, and historical recipes.
This experience blends culinary history, personal storytelling, and contemporary cuisine to create a deeper understanding of the region's diverse food heritage.

Cape Cod Pop Up- this weekend!

03/01/2026

This past week Cape Cod experienced our first real storm in decades! This blizzard took out power across our peninsula and islands- leaving tens of thousands without power.

I’m so thankful that one of my colleagues informed me that the folks at Family Table Collaborative were in need of chefs to assist in making meals.
I had no idea what I was walking into, and I am just thankful that a way for me to help my community presented itself.
It was extremely rewarding to connect and work alongside ACF VP John Norton, the chef team from LUNE - Cape Cod, and Cape Cod Regional Technical High School instructor Matthew Tropeano all came out to support The
Collaborative Chefs Jeff and Nick to put out an insane amount of meals!
This effort was also supported by the World Central Kitchen and I encourage you to donate to their efforts.

📢FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 📢

I am beyond excited to share that I will be returning to Wisconsin in January for a special series!

Seven Acre Dairy Company is a lovingly restored dairy factory in the rolling hills of Southern Wisconsin on the National Register of Historic Places. The restored factory now includes an inn, restaurant, cafe, event space and is home to an artisan dairy factory where Anna Landmark and Landmark Creamery produce award-winning butters and sheep's cheese.

Seven Acre is pleased to announce the creation of the "Chef Residency" program. The Chef Residency is a five day experience where chefs will work with the team at Seven Acre to craft unique culinary experiences.

I will be bringing back classic Martha's Daughter dishes (tacos, dumplings, ramen, chicken & waffles) for dinner and brunch. In addition- two nights celebrating the African diaspora and- of course- The Official Black Panther Wakanda Cookbook.

Today through Monday tickets are on sale —->Link in Bio!

Grab a seat for you and the foodie in your life!

I hope to see some familiar faces!!! xoxo nyanyika (Martha's Daughter)

I’ve had the honor of presenting at Madison College, University of Wisconsin-Superior, UMass Amherst, Centerville Public Library and more- and I’m excited to share my new speaker page with you!

If you’re planning a conference, campus event, library program or community gathering, I’d love to connect.
