About this event
Chef Bashir will talk about his own migration story and engage participants in a discussion about food and its important connection to our identity and our roots as we travel many routes in life. Join us, virtually, in his kitchen to watch him cook a meal, ask questions, and share stories about our relationships with food.
Please note that while participants will not be cooking along with Chef Bashir, they will receive the recipes for the dishes that he creates during this workshop.
