About this event

*ALL TICKETS INCLUDE A COPY OF BACK TO GREEN* Doors open at 6:00 PM | Show at 7:00 PM CLICK LINK FOR FULL EVENT DETAILS In recent years, Marcus Samuelsson has reimagined the way he cooks, focusing more on nourishing, healthy, “of-the-earth" ingredients from around the world: coconut, rice, corn, acai, plantains, teff, chillis and more. In BACK TO GREEN (Avery, on sale October 20, 2026), Marcus highlights these ancient ingredients, explaining that their origins tell stories of ancestry, migration, and resilience. Learning from chefs and farmers from the Caribbean and South America to East Asia and Africa, Marcus sheds light on how these foods bind communities and can lead us on a path to healthy living. With an emphasis on superfoods present in the diets of countries across the Caribbean, the Americas, the Pacific, Asia, and Africa, the cookbook is full of diverse, uber healthy foods. His vegetable-forward recipes include: • Papaya Passion Fruit Smoothie • Steamed Black Cod with Spicy
