"In Syrian culture, we can't make any journey without first planning the food," begins Imad Alarnab. "If you make a plan to go to the cinema, you plan what you'll eat. If you make a plan to visit your mother, you know when you're going to eat. There's no going out without eating something."But when Alarnab set out from Damascus in July 2015 to make the dangerous journey across Europe that so many refugees and asylum seekers have attempted since the Syrian conflict started, it wasn't one you could plan the food for.Alarnab owned two successful restaurants and several juice bars in Damascus and the surrounding area before he became a refugee. In the 14 months since he arrived in the UK, he's worked several jobs including at a hand car wash and as a car salesman. But thanks to the Unicef NEXTGeneration project, which helps Syrian families get back on their feet, tonight Alarnab is in the kitchen once again, running a pop-up restaurant in East London."It's more than dinner," he says. "What we're going to do is recreate how we serve food in our homes. In Syria, we don't do plates. We don't ask, 'What do you want to eat?' We just serve lots of food and you can eat whatever you like, whenever you like. It's like family."Read more on MUNCHIES.
