Cooking up way to share migrant heritage at home

With the theme ‘In Between Worlds’, Sydney Design Week 2024, September 13-19, will feature events across the city and brings together visionary designers, architects and artists, engaging research, storytelling and image-making to create space for alternative futures.
One of the creatives featured is Karima Hazim, who grew up in Bankstown and founded ‘Sunday Kitchen’ cooking classes with her mother Sivine in 2019, as a tribute to traditional Lebanese recipes and family rituals – an insight into what foods feed our soul.
Karima said the kitchen was a peaceful place in their home growing up, a place to dance, share and unwind, a place to cook from the heart and prepare dishes laced with heritage and tradition.
“As a foodie coming from a fashion design background, I have a creative approach to everything and hope attendees leave with a stronger understanding of migrants including the Lebanese,” she said.
“They worked so hard to build grocers, bakers and other suppliers so that now, the Lebanese products you can buy here as just as good as what’s available in Lebanon.”
Also a cookbook author, she will join architect and artistic director Sumayya Vally to prepare a traditional Lebanese Sunday breakfast at Baba Ghanouj, Parramatta, highlighting how family recipes capture snapshots of significant milestones and cultural shifts on Sunday, September 15, 10-11am, with tickets $15 at powerhouse.com.au
