Cybille St. Aude-Tate

Contributing Author

Cybille is a Haitian American chef & children’s book author from Long Island, New York. She is a partner in Honeysuckle Projects with her husband Omar Tate as well as co-founder of Earthseed Provisions, a culinary studio and food lab where she houses her modern Haitian Food & Culture pop-up concept, CAONA.

Between her sixteen year career in the restaurant industry & degree in African American Studies specializing in Caribbean culture & aesthetics in America, she has found her niche in cultivating a relative Caribbean food experience. Through CAONA she translates Haitian histories and expands the narrative of her identity. These expressions of generational Haitian-American culture unfold through her lectures, literature, seminars, and most notably cuisine--  often incorporating culinary techniques and ingredients from all over the world to expand the conversation of herself and Haiti.

Cybille’s career boasts a resume that includes multiple appearances at the acclaimed James Beard House in New York City, Charleston Wine and Food Festival, and a casting in season thirty-five of Chopped on The Food Network; however, the work she is most proud of is her cultural work grounded in Haiti. She is also more notably building along with Omar Tate Honeysuckle Provisions, a food justice village in West Philadelphia envisioned to serve as an evolving network of community spaces centered around the values of nourishment and reclamation, celebrating Black and Afro-centric food traditions and community.
