Syria has always been the marketplace for the most delicious ingredients where spices and sweetness collide. Nothing unites and inspires Syrians as much as food. Even now, Syrians living in refuge from Beirut to Berlin are searching out the best tomatoes, lemons, pomegranates and parsley to recreate the taste of home.

Friends and passionate cooks Itab and Dina spent months cooking with these women, learning their recipes and listening to stories of home. This recipe book could be read as a novel. It is a celebration of what Syria does best - cook delicious food.

For a taster, watch Itab Azzam and Dina Mousawi on BBC Woman’s Hour podcast on how to  Cook the perfect Smoked Aubergine Salad here.

The Story

Tahani’s story

Tahani gave birth to her son Ahmed under siege. When news got out, a neighbor appeared at her door, begging her to breastfeed her own new-born girl. By then in Douma food of any kind had become a priceless luxury and the mother was so malnourished that she couldn’t produce any milk. Tahani thought of her own fragile health and her own baby, but the child in front of her was so desperately skinny, she couldn't find a way to say no. Miraculously, all three pulled through.

Itab & Dina met Tahani in a rented house in a village, near the Jordanian border. Thirty six months under siege had brought her very close to starvation, but somehow she had managed to get out to Damascus and smuggle herself onto a bus south, where her mother awaited her with bowls of her favourite mloukhyya and okra stew “I dived into them and ate like a wolf” she said.
