A Story of Food, Heritage, and New Beginning
I'm honored to share that my journey from Aleppo to London will be featured in The Unknown Chefs, a documentary series now streaming on Apple TV and Prime Video.
​
This series tells the stories of four refugees – from Syria, Namibia, Nepal, and Uzbekistan – who had found a home at London's Mercato Metropolitano. Through our food, we share not just recipes, but our heritage, our families, and our identities as we build new lives in Britain.
​
The first episode follows my story and the food stall at Mercato Metropolitano that became my first kitchen in London. It's a place where I could share the scents, flavors, and memories of Syria – keeping my culture alive through every dish I prepared. This documentary is about resilience, the immigrant experience, and how food has the power to connect us all, no matter where we come from.
