Flavours of Home- Community Kitchen


 Flavours of Home: A Community Kitchen for Asylum Seekers

Flavours of Home is a community kitchen space hosted at Waterhouse Restaurant for those residing in Hotels for those seeking Asylum in Hackney. 

 

Key Features of the Programme:

  • A Safe Space: Our fully equipped kitchen is a haven where clients can enjoy cooking in peace, surrounded by a supportive community.
  • Freedom to Cook Your Way: Clients can request ingredients of their choice to prepare meals that reflect their culinary traditions, memories, and cultures.
  • Comprehensive Support: In addition to cooking, our team offers guidance on community services and signposting, ensuring clients receive support.

At Flavours of Home, we believe that food is more than sustenance—it's a powerful connection to culture, identity, and comfort. 

How it Works:

  1. Choose Your Ingredients: Clients can order ingredients through us, selecting whatever they need to create their dish.
  2. Cook Your Dish: Whether it's a family recipe or a new creation, you have the freedom to cook how you like.
  3. Receive Support: Our Head Chef is on hand to help, and our team can assist with additional needs.

Join Us: Whether you are looking to participate or support this vital initiative, we welcome you to Flavours of Home.

Together, we can build a community where food connects us and where everyone feels at home.
