Last Sunday we took our Lebanese ingredients to the souk el salam to raise money for the Amos Trust. We helped to make a staggering £20,523 for their projects in Palestine. The huge sell-out success sadly meant hundreds of people had to be turned away from Imad's Syrian Kitchen!
|
Those who did get in were treated to mouthwatering dishes prepared by 16 chefs. Luckily we managed to sample Imad's felafel and Chef Ayesha's orange blossom mousseline, before they disappeared.
|
Sami Tamimi, chef and organiser, was so touched by the numbers of happy people queuing. Fingers crossed there'll be another one in a bigger venue soon!
|
A big thank you to everyone who came to support us at such a positive event to raise money for Gaza.

We're delighted that your contributions to our Christmas sales meant that we could give $40 (£31) to 85 marginalised families in Beirut this month.

As donor countries withdraw their funding from UNRWA, there is real fear for the Palestinian communities in Lebanon.
|
Najdeh depends on UNRWA to pay teacher's salaries and fund schools for refugees throughout the country. They also meet 50% of the medical costs of this community. If UNRWA has to stop funding in 6 months time, there will be a catastrophe of monumental scale in Lebanon.
|
|
We continue to support Najdeh and will be launching another fundraiser in the spring.

A citrus posset with a hint of saffron. Now that the citrus season is in full flow, take your pick of lemons, blood oranges or even seville oranges to make this simple pudding over the weekend.

It's always useful to have ways of making a cauliflower more interesting.
