Antoinette G. Johnson

Chef- Cultural Storyteller - Food Journalist

About Me

I’m a cookbook author, chef, cultural storyteller, and food journalist passionate about supporting Black voices in the culinary world and exploring how food connects us to culture.

I run two main brands that reflect my work. The Cultural Bite is my media company and YouTube channel where I dig into the history, stories, and meaning behind the foods we eat.

Then there’s Mostly Homemade — my lifestyle brand focused on approachable recipes, home cooking, and my personal take on modern homemaking: making everyday life feel a little more special.

With nearly 10 years in digital marketing and social media, I bring a creative and thoughtful perspective to everything I do — always looking for ways to connect people through food, story, and culture.
