However the culinary diaspora of these countries are slowly changing perceptions by using food in a powerful way. In Refugee Chef, each episode will feature real-life people who have escaped wars and civil strife, and survive impossible odds to make their own tale of rags to riches come true. Behind each dish are stories of survival as refugees seek freedom from society in conflict. We will see how they struggle to make new lives with their family recipes and how cities have been enriched by their presence.
