Lesvos, a Greek island off the coast of Turkey, has become a temporary home for tens of thousands of refugees, now living in RIC Lesvos, and previously in Moria and Kara Tepe camp. Melting Pot is a moving collection of stories and recipes from these migrants, as well as the local Lesvians, collected by members of Movement On The Ground, a Dutch organisation with a mission to provide immediate human relief, cultivate solutions, and drive sustainable change with and for people on the move and local host communities impacted by the European migration crisis. Food is a powerful connector and a vessel for culture, bringing together the incredibly diverse communities in the refugee camps, and helping migrants to share their stories and the culture of their homelands.
