Syrian Food with Walaa

 "For Syrians forced to leave their home country for an uncertain future in the West, food is a reminder of a lost way of life and a means of reconnecting with their cultural roots."

Walaa travelled to the UK with her family after being selected as one of the beneficiaries of the government's vulnerable persons resettlement scheme. Her love of family life and the social benefits of eating together has led her to develop a passion for cooking. Outside of the family, Walaa enjoys meeting new people, attending events and engaging with her local community. For that reason, she began developing her own catering business in April 2021. Her goal is to bring Syrian food to a wider audience, as well as to communicate to others an appreciation for eating together and the opportunities for growing closer that it brings. 

On this page, you can see examples of the delicious food that Walaa creates. You also have the opportunity to hire her catering services for your own events. The food is usually vegetarian but can be prepared differently according to your preferences.
