Darfur Cookbook

This cookbook documents how food and cooking changed through drought, war, and displacement. It looks at what people cooked before, what became impossible to make, and how recipes were adapted over time.

At its core, this project is about three things:

Teaching

We share recipes, techniques, and ways of cooking that have been passed down across generations, even in displacement.

Recording

We document how people adapted, what was lost, and what was carried forward through different moments of crisis.

Preserving

We are preserving recipes, techniques, and stories that might otherwise be lost.
