*Award-winning celebrity chef Bren Herrera heads into the kitchen this season as the host of Culture Kitchen with Bren Herrera, CLEO TV’s new fun, upbeat cooking and lifestyle show. Bren, a D.C.-native, delights viewers with her bright, flavorful recipes, and stories from her travels abroad while making history. Not only is she the first woman to star in her own show on CLEO TV, but she’s also the first Afro-Latina to host a cooking series on any network.
Each week, Chef Bren represents her Caribbean culture on this hot new cooking show while serving up tasty and thoughtful meals that celebrate the African diaspora. Bren’s love of life comes through in her cooking as she combines the fond memories of her upbringing, the experiences from her world travels exploring foodways, and her fiery personality to create unforgettable dishes filled with flavor. Audiences can tune in to get delicious recipes, entertainment tips, and handy kitchen hacks.
“Cooking is what I do to introduce, educate and also celebrate the culture! People need to know that the diaspora is vast and rich. That Black and Brown people are not monolithic.
If you see and taste the foods, you’ll experience all the beautiful colors and textures that is Africa and Latin America,” states Bren. “As a Black immigrant woman, how lucky am I to be able to bring to life an extraordinary love project with a team lead by Black women. Black women who celebrate and build us up,” continues Bren.
