Fadi Kattan is a Palestinian Chef from Bethlehem, owner of two restaurants: Akub in London and Fawda in Bethlehem.

He has also recently launched his first cookbook - Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food. 

I had the pleasure of sitting across the table from Fadi in his restaurant.  
We talked about resilience, community, deep roots and the importance of preserving and celebrating the ancient culture of the Palestinian people. 

We also finish the episode with him sampling a bowl of red bean soup made from my grandfather's slow cooker.  An exchange of stories and cultures passed down through generations - in the form of a comforting bowl of soup.
