What is it about the food we eat that connects us to the places we’re from? For refugees fleeing conflict, cooking an old family recipe can be a treasured connection to a lost homeland.    In this episode, we’ll hear from two women displaced by war, Women for Women International’s Storai Ahmadi and Zeina Kanawati from Women Now for Development about what they cook that reminds them of home. Nisha also talks to Heifa Odeh, Palestinian-American chef, Fufu’s Kitchen food blogger and author of Dine in Palestine about the recipes handed down through generations of her family.  Learn more and find all the recipes from this episode here
