Xawaash

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.
