KITCHENER A Rohingya refugee who is now building a new life in Kitchener is sharing recipes from his home. The recipe will be included in a new cookbook launched by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, aimed at highlighting the lives of refugees living in Canada. Faisal Mohammed will share a recipe for Duú Fiça, a meal he made frequently when he was living in a refugee camp in Bangladesh. I spent almost 10 to 11 years in Bangladesh, where I wasn t able to call a home because it wasn t safe and they could kick us out at any time they want, Mohammed said.
