Yes, and Cafe - Episode 3: Cooking Palestinian Food to Build Community in Greensboro

When Annah Awartani came to Greensboro in the 1990s, she longed for the food that reminded her of home. Unable to find such food in local restaurants, she began to cook it herself, first for her family, then for her community. Annah’s cooking, which draws on Greek, Palestinian, and Syrian influences, has become a staple of the Greensboro Curb Market. Beyond that, though, Annah is a champion of the slow food movement and of community building by cooking and eating together. Join us in a conversation with Annah about cooking as philosophy, medicine, a way to share love, and a way to “Yes, and.” Also joining us is UNCG student Lilee Rose.
