the black mediterranean kitchen

restoring black nutrition - one dish at a time

The BMK is a plant-forward eating experience of West-African ingredients and their creative relationship with the Americas and the Caribbean.Combining proven benefits from the Mediterranean diet, it births assortments of minimally processed, local transatlantic dishes in small plates to be shared and enjoyed together.Elegantly binding heritage with health and community is at the core of what we create.

' I developed a creative culinary space to explore the intersection of nutrition, modern diasporic food and community to help educate and reshape ways to survive today's western dietary neglect. We need to understand that health fuels our resilience and produces our legacy.'Charlene Ashong , Founder
