Community Project: Sanctuary in The Kitchen

“For me cooking is a way to share my culture. I have felt very isolated in the UK and remember times when back home I would cook with my family in Afghanistan. I want to share something positive about Afghanistan. And to learn from others. For me, cooking and sharing food would be a powerful way to do this.” Sanctuary in The Kitchen participant

Sanctuary in the Kitchen is a powerful community-led cooking and cultural exchange project. It is created by and for members of the sanctuary community. It is an opportunity to come together not only to cook but to share music, art, craft and stories. The project has been running for over three years and has recently resulted in the creation of a community cookbook which treasured recipes and the stories behind them.
