I grew up in Somalia\, East Africa\, with my mum and dad and three siblings – I’m the second oldest. I learned to cook with my Mum. She had her own recipes and her own way of cooking. I stayed at her side while she cooked – she needed my help and I was so interested. I would stand with her for six hours at a time. I stayed at school until I was 9 years old and then I stopped. But I wanted to carry on learning so I kept reading and teaching myself.  \nGradually I started cooking more\, by the age of 12 I was cooking for the family.   \n \nI came to the UK in 2004\, first to Weston Super Mare then to Bristol. I met and married my husband that same year and had my first baby in 2005. Now I have four children! As well as cooking for my family\, I cook at lunch clubs and organise celebrations and events for older people\, for women\, in schools and for young people. Always bringing people together through food. \n \nI like teaching – seeing people concentrate.

I grew up in a big family where food and music were always part of our joy – we loved getting together\, sharing meals\, and dancing. In Ecuador\, you can find four seasons in one day by travelling from one part of the country to another\, and that means that you can experience many different types of food in the country. When I came to England\, I started to do some voluntary work in a ‘healthy living’ community group\, and I used to run a session on healthy eating – this is reflected in my menu today. Teaching others about Ecuadorian food helps me feel close to my country and reminds me that even far from home\, we can still celebrate who we are and connect with others through culture and food. Each dish I create carries the soul of my homeland that is inspired by the unique beauty of the Amazon\, where the jungle speaks and nature is sacred.

I grew up in Spanish Town\, the capital of the Parish of St Catherine. We lived very centrally as my mum worked in the market in town\, selling fish and fresh vegetables. I would often help my mum at the market and I learnt to cook through watching her. \nSometimes when she was working\, I would look after my younger siblings and would cook for them. \nMy passion for cooking only grew and I often cooked for my neighbours and for parties and celebrations for my friends and family. I love seeing satisfaction and joy on people’s faces when I cook for them. My favourite dish is ackee and salt fish – so much so that when I moved to Antigua I brought an ackee tree to plant in my garden and this is something that I always cook for my two children. \nI’ve been in Bristol for a year now and it’s a very friendly and supportive city. I’m volunteering with local refugee charities Bristol Hospitality Network and Borderlands. When I got my refugee status last year I held a big picnic in the park for my friends to celebrate. Jamaican food is spicy and full of flavour\, using lots of fresh vegetables and herbs. \nCooking and eating Jamaican food helps me reconnect to home\, music is also very important to me and I love dancing while I cook – no matter what is going on in life\, it makes me feel happy.

My mother had to go to work\, leaving me to cook for my two younger siblings. At first\, I made some pretty awful dishes but with my mother’s help and encouragement\, I got better. At her suggestion\, I started cooking school and soon I was creating new dishes on my own. I then trained at the Trinidad and Tobago International Hilton Hotel and worked as a sous chef at the Carlton Savannah Hotel when Queen E stayed there in 2009. When the hotel closed\, I first started cooking for homeless people and then for children with additional needs. I became a mother figure for many of the kids and some of the older people. I have been volunteering for Praxis charity for the last year\, a charity that helps support people on their immigration journey. \nIn addition to cooking\, I am passionate about music\, dancing and laughing!

I was always asking ‘Please can I help?’ By the time I got to university I had learned how to cook just by watching! \nIn the summer I loved going to stay with my mum’s family\, who lived in a village. They grew and cooked their own vegetables. There I had my Grandma all to myself and learned to make yoghurt and cheese\, which I still make for my own family. \nBig meals at home with family and friends were an important part of our lives. We had to be strong to manage the huge pots we used. Our food traditions are very varied with lots of different recipes for meat and vegetables.” \n \nWHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR MIGRATEFUL COOKERY CLASS \nParticipants will work together to cook a family-style meal from scratch\, guided by the expertise of a refugee or migrant chef\, before sitting down to share lunch. \nAlongside practical cooking skills\, Migrateful’s programme encourages curiosity\, empathy and cultural connection\, helping young people build a positive understanding of refugee and migrant experiences through shared food and conversation.

Those loud\, joyful mornings in a Cantonese tea house are some of my most treasured memories and they are the reason I cook the way I do. To me\, Yum Cha isn’t just a meal – it’s a ritual of gathering\, of generosity\, of saying ‘I love you’ through food. \nIn my class\, I want to bring that experience to you. We’ll take the humble home-cooked dishes of Hong Kong and lift them to the standard of a proper Cantonese tea house. You’ll learn the technique behind dishes that look simple\, but carry decades of tradition: how to fold a dumpling so the filling stays juicy\, how to balance sweet\, sour and umami the Cantonese way\, and how to recreate that Yum Cha feeling – wherever you are in the world.

My favourite dishes were Okra and Fish Curry\, made with fresh coconut. I love playing cricket and on Sundays\, I would go to the beach and fish. Any fish that I caught I would take home and cook fresh that day. Another favourite dish of mine is Beef Biryani which we cooked when we had family celebrations – which could include up to thirty people. When I first came to the UK I lived in Yorkshire\, in Halifax\, and I worked in a community kitchen as a chef.

I grew up in Spanish Town\, the capital of the Parish of St Catherine. We lived very centrally as my mum worked in the market in town\, selling fish and fresh vegetables. I would often help my mum at the market\, and I learnt to cook by watching her. Sometimes when she was working\, I would look after my younger siblings and would cook for them. My passion for cooking only grew\, and I often cooked for my neighbours and for parties and celebrations for my friends and family. I love seeing satisfaction and joy on people’s faces when I cook for them. My favourite dish is ackee and salt fish – so much so that when I moved to Antigua\, I brought an ackee tree to plant in my garden\, and this is something that I always cook for my two children. \n \nI’ve been in Bristol for a year now\, and it’s a very friendly and supportive city. I’m volunteering with local refugee charities Bristol Hospitality Network and Borderlands. When I got my refugee status last year\, I held a big picnic in the park for my friends to celebrate. Jamaican food is spicy and full of flavour\, using lots of fresh vegetables and herbs. \n \nCooking and eating Jamaican food helps me reconnect to home\, music is also very important to me\, and I love dancing while I cook – no matter what is going on in life\, it makes me feel happy.

I grew up in Rabwah\, on the lush green banks of the Chenab River in Punjab. The town was established for the Ahmadiyya community. \nI remember my childhood there very fondly\, they were the happiest days of my life and still bring me peace when I think about them. From the age of 10\, I helped my mother cook\, and by 12 I was cooking properly on my own. Okra masala and aubergine curry were among the first dishes I learned to make. My father always praised my cooking and gave me confidence\, while my mother would gently suggest ways to improve. \nAfter I married\, I moved to Bahawalpur with my husband\, who is a doctor\, and together we raised our four children. But because Ahmadis face persecution in Pakistan\, it became unsafe for us to stay there. We first moved to Senegal\, where my husband helped establish the Humanity First hospital\, and later to The Gambia so our children could study in English. In 2023\, we moved to the UK. \nPakistani culture is deeply rooted in hospitality and care for others\, it is very important to make guests feel welcomed and cared for. During my time in Senegal and Gambia\, I was always hosting people visiting the hospital from different countries. I always made sure they had delicious food to eat and extras to take with them. Cooking for people has always brought me joy. I only know how to cook in large quantities! My food is spicy\, balanced\, fresh\, comforting\, and full of flavour.
