Hey Y’all!
At Hummingbird Roots & Recipes, we believe food is more than a meal—it’s a memory, a connection, and a form of empowerment.
Founded by Direka Gordon, a professionally trained chef, military spouse, and mom of two, our mission is to help families, especially those with fast-paced or transitional lifestyles, slow down and reconnect through the kitchen. From childhood lessons learned in a loving but resource-limited kitchen to formal training in culinary and pastry arts, Direka brings warmth, resilience, and flavor to every class.
Here, we blend tradition and technique with creativity and confidence. Whether you're prepping healthy meals for the week, celebrating a birthday with your little one, or joining a date-night class, our goal is simple: to make cooking joyful, doable, and full of flavor that reflects your roots.
Come for the food. Leave with the confidence to make it your own.
