Baba Ghanoush: Food and Refugee

baba ghanoush: They now sell their food under the name Saraya Hot Bread at a deli in Victoria, B.C. Making food comes naturally to the family but starting a new business in a new country with a long list of licences and health requirements did not, according to CBC. So, the couple relied on the help of volunteers from a local refugee sponsorship group. Ibrahim Hajibrahim and Ranim Khochkar make several types of Mediterranean food with traditional Syrian recipes, such as Baba ghanoush, Dolma, lentil fingers and stuffed hot bread. Karen Short is a volunteer with the Harbour of Hope Refugee Assistance Society, which is working to sponsor Hajibrahim's sister to come to Canada as a refugee. Ibrahim Hajibrahim and Ranim Khochkar stand with Lisa Buchan, the deli director at the Red Barn Markets, and Karen Short, with the Harbour of Hope Refugee Assistance Society in Victoria, B.C. Gregor Craigie Ibrahim said do you think people would buy our food if we had a restaurant Short recalled. In six weeks, Short and other volunteers helped the Syrian couple set up a sole proprietorship, obtain necessary licences, and find an accredited commercial kitchen. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
