Cooking for Freedom

Cooking for Freedom are a group of refugees in Direct Provision hostels in Ireland. They want to cook for themselves and their families, but currently can only eat the canteen food provided by the hostels. Sometimes for years at a time. Cooking and eating together gives them a real focus in their lives.
