Hello & welcome back to our Birmingham based food podcast presented by food-obsessed friends Carl & Liam. This week we were extremely lucky to sit down and chat with the lovely people behind the charity Kings Heath & Bearwood action for refugees

Action For Refugees Charity

Action for Refugees is a network of local community groups who are committed to supporting refugees and asylum seekers.

We are not-for-profit charitable organisations working with local individuals, groups, and schools to help refugees. We deliver a range of community fundraising events and promote awareness, befriending, support and solidarity for refugees and asylum seekers living in Birmingham and the Black Country and those seeking safe passage across Europe

This Cookbook Belongs To Us

We first came across this wonderful charity, when they were hosting an event in a park near us which involved lots of local cafes & eateries. After looking into the charity we found out they actually have a fantastic cookbook.

We have always believed food and in particular sharing food to be a very powerful way of breaking down barriers in the community. We heard in our podcast with the people behind crazy gin, that their parents used to cook for all their neighbours. This helped settle them into their new community.

This cookbook is about that. Birmingham has such an amazing mix of nationalities and cultures, and this cookbook is a collection of recipes & stories from all different nationalities who have settled in Birmingham.

We celebrate the many cultures and cuisines enjoyed in Birmingham and Smethwick, from home-cooked meals passed through the generations, to show-stopping restaurant recipes. All proceeds from this book will aid refugees in transit. BUY THE BOOK HERE
