For those wishing to donate to those still trapped in Syria please see Hand In Hand For Syria.
And for those who missed out on the Cook for Syria initiative, why not gift someone a Cook for Syria Recipe cookbook which is available for pre-order now.
A nationwide initiative, curated by Clerkenwell Boy and SUITCASE Magazine, over November focused on Syrian cuisine being delivered by UK’s top chefs to raise money in aid of UNICEF’s Syria Relief fund via Next Generation London (UNICEF’s youth branch). They hope the initiative will continue globally.
