Claudia Serrato, PhD

Welcome. I’m Dr. Claudia Serrato.

I am an Indigenous Culinary Anthropologist, Scholar-Chef, educator, and storyteller dedicated to preserving and sharing Indigenous foodways through research, teaching, cooking, and community engagement.

This channel explores the connections between food, memory, culture, identity, belonging, and collective healing. Here you’ll find cooking demonstrations, conversations, lectures, cultural teachings, ethnobotanical knowledge, Indigenous ingredients, recipes, reflections on womb ecology, and the ways food shapes our relationships with land, ancestors, family, and community.

Whether I’m in the kitchen, the classroom, at a community gathering, or sharing stories from the field, my goal is to honor the knowledge carried through generations and explore how food continues to shape our lives today.

Food is more than nourishment. It is memory. It is relationship. It is culture. It is story.

Thank you for being here.
