Food Network is getting into the holiday spirit with its first Kwanzaa series, set to highlight the food and history of the annual seven-day celebration.

“The Kwanzaa Menu” is hosted by culinary scholar Tonya Hopkins, who on the FoodNetwork.com series will guide the audience through each of Kwanzaa’s seven principles using a special dish as conversation. 

“Celebrating Kwanzaa through good food and drink not only allows us to reconnect to the vibrance of our culinary  history that  greatly informs who we are as Black people, our very identities —  but also to take pride in that which has so profoundly shaped American foodways at large, for centuries,” Hopkins says of the series produced by Best Wishes Studio.
