Join us for an evening of food, community and solidarity in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful market gardens.

For the second year running, we’re bringing A Taste of Palestine to Cornwall — a much-loved gathering that brings people together through shared food, shared stories and a shared commitment to hope.

We’re thrilled that Sally Azzam — Palestinian chef and Amos team member — will once again be cooking a delicious Palestinian summer feast using seasonal ingredients from the garden at Community Roots, Porthtowan.

The evening is a chance to gather, eat well, hear about our work in Palestine and explore ways to get involved in meaningful action and community solidarity.

As a special addition this year, Sally will demonstrate how to prepare a zaatar topping and dress flatbreads to make traditional Palestinian manakeesh — and everyone will have the chance to try it.

All funds raised will support our West Bank partner Tent of Nations — the Nasser family farm located south-west of Bethlehem. The farm is being steadily crowded out by surrounding settlement outposts, facing crop destruction, restricted access to their own land and a relentless series of legal challenges and threats of annexation.

The family uses the farm to educate local children and welcome international visitors, who in turn become advocates and a protective presence on the ground. This year, we’re raising funds for an olive press so the family can continue to harvest their olives and produce olive oil — a practice at the heart of Palestinian culture and identity.

Come along and stand with Palestine.
