Description

His life in Damascus was successful; he had three restaurants as well as juice bars and cafes and he and his wife were parents to three young daughters. After enduring a three-month journey to the UK, leaving his wife, three daughters and a restaurant in Damascus, he found cooking for 400 people provided a taste of home and a reminder of who he was.

In a taxi to a safer part of the city his family were caught up in a massive bombing and he was certain they were dead. We sit down with Mathew Carver and Patrick McGuigan, authors of ‘The Cheese Life’, to discuss the obsession with the ingredient and try some delicious British cheeses. I nearly ate a whole cauliflower on my own and was stopped in my tracks only by the thought of the indigestion that might follow. Also really great to read the personal stories from Imad himself - gives the book more charm and personality and shows us how inspiring Imad really is. Most of all, what refugees want is to recreate a life for themselves, and thereby, make a contribution to the new country they find themselves in.

I went to eat at Imad’s Syrian Kitchen mostly because I wanted to support the restaurateur who moved to London but not out of the desire to travel the world. This book will weave Imad’s unique and compelling story with recipes that are inspired by his love of his two homes: Damascus and London. This can only happen if refugees are welcomed and supported to contribute to our society, not demonised and banished to barges or to Rwanda.

In a tall, large pot, heat the olive oil over a medium heat, then add the cumin seeds and toast for a minute. My favourite recipes were ‘Katif Ghanam’ (slow cooked marinated lamb shoulder baked in a parcel with herbs, carrots, potatoes and onion), ‘Mujadara’ (bulgar wheat and brown lentil salad) and ‘Muhammara’ (a red pepper and walnut chunky paste).For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.

This book is also sprinkled with some very delicious looking recipes but it’s the story I just wish I could meet Imad and his family.
