We'd love to teach you a little bit about about our food and culture and we'll do this by teaching you how to make pupusas. These are thick savoury griddle cakes from El Salvador and Honduras made with cornmeal. In El Salvador, it has been declared the national dish and has a specific day to celebrate it.

You will be taught by some of Maison Foo's super Story Chefs. Story Chefs is a project co-created with members of our Creative Sanctuary Group.
By sharing our food and stories, and handing out our Story Chef recipe cards, the Story Chefs hope to create heartfelt and delicious ways for people to meet and connect with neighbours from all over the world currently seeking sanctuary in the UK.
