من نحن

لم تُترجم بعد إلى العربية. تُعرض بـالإنجليزية.

We are a husband and wife team… Both of us were born in beautiful Somalia.

We live in Canada, our adopted homeland. We like travelling, photography and food. We love food, but we don’t live to eat. Nor do we eat to live. We live in between.

We love to cook and entertain. And we like to share. We want to share with you our love for Somalia and our memories of growing up there. Of peaceful and tranquil times.

Somali food is simple. No elaborate sauces or flavour extremes. It is not spicy hot nor is it bland. Through this website, we will attempt to cover all regions of Somalia and we will also venture into neighbouring countries. If there is anything we have learnt from our passion for food, it is about how the world is interconnected, and about our common humanity.

Today, Somalia is wounded. We look forward to a Somalia where unity and diversity prevail, where differences are celebrated, where everyone enjoys full rights regardless of race, creed, and gender, and where no one is above the law.

“Imagine we are all the same. Imagine we all agree about politics, religion and morality. Imagine we like the same types of music, food and coffee. Sound boring? Differences need not divide us. Embrace diversity. Dignity is everyone’s human right.”

    Nabad,

    Aniga Maarekin Somali. Unfortunately that is all that I can remember these days. My wife, Carole, and I lived in Merca and Mogadishu before you were born. We were part of the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers to live and work in Somalia from 1962-1964. We came to love Somalia and the Somali people. We get to drive from LA to San Diego occasionally to buy sambusi, eat semi-Somali food, and spend a few hours in a Somali tea shop talking to old men about what we remember of the good days and tell the younger men of what they have missed and unfortunately will never get to see. What is interesting is that the teashops look like Mogadishu and, most important, smell like Mogadishu. It is all good…charcoal smoke, steaming milk and tea, rich spices, crisp meat, lamb, the occasional goat, but unfortunately no camel, no camel milk. I am so very happy to find your web site and your recipe for Xawaash. I will be making a large batch this week. Do you also sell it?

    We have a on line group called Friends of Somalia. It’s made up mostly of the couple hundred Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Somalia in the good days. Three of the RPCV’s just recently returned from acting as Election Poll Watchers in Somaliland.
