We make bread – the Syrian way. We mix the ingredients, add water, and wait for it to rise. We hear the story of a displaced Syrian woman. When the dough is ready, the room fills with the smell of freshly baked bread. We share it with our friends and neighbours – and enjoy it with Syrian Meze.

When he was in Turkey, writer Kevin Dyer was told by a Syrian refugee, ‘Do not forget Syria’. This is our attempt, with baking, and a thrilling piece of drama, to keep the proud people of that country in our minds – with food and a story of hope.
