A message from our Chef Obah:

“Hello, my name is Obah. I am from Somalia but was born and grew up in Kuwait. I never cooked when I was young, as my mum never had time to teach us. I learnt to cook when I got married to my husband 23 years ago, starting with Kabes (Somalian chapatti). It didn’t turn out perfect the first time, but I was determined to do it again and from there I just learnt through practicing. I really enjoy learning about new food from different cultures, and mixing them together!.”

Migrateful is an award-winning charity which supports asylum-seekers, refugee & migrants in their journey to integration & employment. We do this by preparing them to lead cookery classes where they teach their traditional cuisine, culture & stories.
