A Taste Of Home is a remarkable initiative that was envisioned and brought to life by over 50 Syrian refugee families who have found solace in the northern regions of England. These families have embarked on a transformative journey, striving to integrate into their new home while cherishing the memories and traditions of the land they left behind. Through a series of community meals, cooking workshops, and neighborhood gatherings, the individuals featured in this book have worked tirelessly to forge connections and build friendships within their local community. The heartwarming aspect of these events is the opportunity for local residents and refugees to come together, break down barriers, and cultivate meaningful relationships over the shared experience of savoring delicious, home-cooked meals. Food holds a profound significance in Syrian family culture, and each recipe in this cookbook carries a tale of the beloved homes these families have left behind. Syria is a country rich in history and culture, far beyond the mere portrayal of destruction that often dominates the news. It is with great hope that this recipe book serves as a window into the past, shedding light on the traditions and customs that shaped the beautiful nation and its resilient people. By delving into the flavors and stories behind these recipes, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of Syrian cuisine and the resilience of its people.
