Merrylands is home to many new Australias, many of whom have fled their homeland. This tour will introduce you to the culinary treasures they wish to share
You will discover the flavours of Syria and Afghanistan, and Persia's exquisite use of dried limes and saffron. Enjoy the best rice and bread to be had anywhere in the world.
Along the way you will meet generous business owners and hear stories of hopes and dreams of people making long journeys to a new life in Australia. This is far from your typical food tour! If you like exploring new cultures and communities and building relationships through food, then this is the experience for you.
In the Merrylands Tour you will explore the tastes and cultures of Afghanistan and Persia. Enjoy dishes lovingly prepared, and shared with you by the newest Australians. Traditional recipes have come on long journeys from homes in Afghanistan and Persia (Iran), brought to keep homelands alive in hearts and bellies.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
