Welcoming Week Cooking Demonstration by United We Eat

Join United We Eat Chef, Kamar Tajou, to learn how to prepare delicious comfort food from her home country of Syria! During this cooking demonstration, Chef Kamar will show you how to make Fattet Djaj, a hearty, belly-warming dish with chicken and rich ingredients including garlic, tahini, yogurt, cinnamon and cumin. Attendees will learn how to make this tasty dish for loved ones, using the recipe Chef Kamar learned from her own mother!

United We Eat, a project of Soft Landing Missoula, uses food to create cultural connections and provide supplemental income to chefs. Chef Kamar arrived in Missoula in 2022 with her husband and two sons. Originally from Aleppo, Syria, Chef Kamar also spent time in Lebanon before she and her family were resettled to the United States. This cooking demonstration is brought to you by the Missoula Public Library and Soft Landing Missoula as part of Welcoming Week 2023, an annual initiative by organizations, nonprofits and communities around the country to build support for immigrant and refugee neighbors.
