Project Chefugee, which started in April 2016, is MFR’s emblematic and most popular event. Chefugee hosts pop-up dinners cooked by refugee chefs who are seeking to establish themselves professionally in Madrid. All guests are welcome to participate in these dinners during which the refugees share their culture and stories through food and dialogue. Our goal: to provide a unique opportunity for refugees to share their home country’s rich culinary traditions and personal stories while earning decent wages.
Chefugee also organizes cooking classes hosted by our refugee chefs in collaboration with So Easy to Cook.
To foster personal connections between people of all backgrounds.
