Parwana Kitchen is grounded in cultural expression and a deep connection to Afghanistan, lovingly cultivated by the Ayubi family here in Adelaide. At its heart is Farida Ayubi, chef and family matriarch, who learned from her elders, carrying their teachings with her as the family migrated to Australia.Through Parwana Kitchen, she has passed these traditions on to her family as a continued practice of connecting to culture. Together, they showcase the art of Afghan cuisine while sharing its spirit of generosity and hospitality with the wider community. Passed down through generations, these food rituals weave connections to the past while fostering belonging and community in the present.Join Farida Ayubi and Fatema Ayubi to cook together, share stories, share a meal, and experience the rich cultural threads of Afghanistan through its cuisine.Ages: All AgesCost: $10Bookings are essential – Register today<a href="https://www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0023/1563134/12-Pre-Visit-Doc-19-On-Green.pdf" title="https://www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0023/1563134/12-Pre-Visit-Doc-19-On-Green.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Accessibility Pre-Visit Information</a>There are a number of ways to get to our venue:<ul><li>Bus: The venue is a short stroll from stops 9 – 12 Hawker Street which is bus numbers 251-254.
