Syrian cuisine is a hearty, healthy and ingredient-driven collision of ancient spices and techniques. Here in Canada, it’s also become a tool to heal the emotional and economic trauma of war. We speak to founders and staff from Newcomer Kitchen and Les Filles Fattoush, two organizations that are using Syrian food as a way forward for refugees. It’s an episode full of emotion, hope and the healing power of cooking, storytelling and singing together in the kitchen with friends.Featuring:Cara Benjamin-Pace, Co-founder and Executive Director, Newcomer KitchenRahaf Alakbani, Co-founder, Newcomer KitchenAdelle Tarzibachi, Co-founder, Les Filles FattoushWiam Aljourny, Cook, Les Filles Fattoush Credits:Host – Angelyn FrancisExecutive Producer - Sonja DraskovicProducer(s) – Nick Rose, Pam AustinCreative Lead(s) – Ryan Paterson, Elaine SongWriter – Andrew CaieEditing, Mixing and Composing: Chris Perry
