A viewer sent me a message today that really touched me... I truly believe that we can bring tolerance to the world one recipe at a time, and it is the force that drives all I do in CookingWithAlia. I loved a sentence in the article she shared Make food, not war... Hello Alia I know you love the way food brings people together and helps us to focus on our common humanity. I thought you might like this story about the way cooking is helping Syrian refugees rebuild their lives. I have worked with asylum seekers and refugees ( in Australia) all my professional life, so stories like this hold great meaning for me. tracks.unhcr.org/2014/05/cooking-to-survive/ I have followed Cooking with Alia since returning from a volunteering trip to Morocco a year ago. It was a moving experience. I felt an uncanny connection to Morocco and your recipes ( from Morocco and beyond) help keep those memories alive.
