Cuisine Noir Magazine - Connecting the African Diaspora Through Food, Wine and Travel
From food and wine to travel, Cuisine Noir magazine delivers what readers are looking for which is more than where to find the next great meal. And most importantly, it is a culinary publication that compliments readers’ lifestyles and desire for a diverse epicurean experience.
Cuisine Noir made its debut online in October of 2007 with a successful run through December 2008 as the first magazine to feature the talents of Black chefs across the country. As the vision of Chef Richard Pannell, the magazine started tapping into an underserved market of Black foodies as well as acting as a unique vehicle to showcase the talents of industry professionals.
In September 2009, the magazine re-emerged online under V. Sheree Creative Enterprises (formerly V. Sheree Publishing) and has since captured readers once again from all over the country. Each month, readers are treated to stories about industry experts and professionals to vineyards and world class destinations around the world. Celebrity chefs featured include The Neelys, Tre Wilcox, Tanya Holland, Bryant Terry, Sunny Anderson, Jeff Henderson and Tiffany Derry. In addition, the magazine is also the first to showcase the “foodie” side of other celebrities such as the late great Dr. Maya Angelou, Wendy Williams, Chris Bridges (aka Ludacris), Dee Dee Bridgewater, Terence Blanchard, Kimberly Elise, Charlie Wilson, Niecy Nash, Gina Neely and Grace Hightower De Niro.
Cuisine Noir’s mission is to be an important narrator that ensures the history, successes and achievements of Blacks in the food, beverage and travel industries are told through the written word as well as visually while increasing the visibility of Blacks in these industries among mainstream media, events, organizations and corporations.
In the fall of 2016, Cuisine Noir became a part of history as its Fall 2014 print cover with Chef Joe Randall is included in a video produced by the Smithsonian Channel for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C. When you visit, be sure to go to the Cultural Expressions Exhibition on the 4th floor and watch the video about how African-Americans influenced American Cuisine.
