After being forced to flee conflict in their hometown and find shelter in Egypt, female refugee cooks, many of them single mothers and widows, are once again enjoying their passion for cooking, thanks to a seven-day cooking course taught by a Swiss chef.
SOUNDBITE (English) Markus Iten, Swiss Chef:
"Sharing of knowledge especially on the food side, or skills is vital for these young ladies from all over the world who ended here not out of their own real doing."
In the free course, participants learn various tactics to reduce food waste and calculate accurate ingredients for recipes which they hope they can use to sustain their catering businesses.
SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Nahla Al Emam, Syrian Refugee:
''We learned many key lessons here such as managing food waste, calculating the accurate cost of food recipes and offering the client affordable meals.''
Nahla has her own catering business.
So do most of the women here.
They are here to learn new techniques.
SOUNDBITE (English) Markus Iten, Swiss Chef:
"Sustainable foods is the future. Cooking way, methods, combination of flavors, using left overs or waste ingredients. We have here ginger which I can dry, make power and put in sugar, ginger sugar or ginger salt.”
Nahla fled Damascus 6 years ago and cooking was a way to survive.
SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Nahla Al Emam, Syrian Refugee:
''We cook with passion and we enjoy it. In my kitchen, there are Syrians, Egyptians and Sudanese.''
The inspiration seems to working.
