Cooking a Home

Syrian refugees are currently struggling to resume their lives far away from home. But even when confronting harsh conditions like those of life in a refugee camp or while missing family members left behind a dish of home-cooked stuffed zucchinis can immediately elicit feelings of warmth and comfort and transform a foreign place into a welcoming home. This book is a collection of the recipes and stories that were shared with me by Syrians seeking asylum in Jordan during my time there.
