This Syrian refugee is cooking in the makeshift 'kitchen' created in between the caravan & covered by a tent. She was chatting to me whilst adding the rice to her chicken broth to make Kabsa...a spicy rice dish.
The smell was fabulous and with great pride she filled a spoon with the stock and insisted that I try it. It tasted as good as it smelt.
When you are a refugee there are very few things that you have control over and even fewer that you can take pride in.
Cooking for your family is just one way to maintain some semblance of normality and reinforce family bonds.
This Syrian woman is one of the more fortunate in Zaatari since her brother-in-law is a real handyman and laid down a cement floor for her kitchen.
