For the immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking community in Charlottesville, Taste of Home wants to provide a way to preserve their cultures through keeping their recipes alive. The nostalgia in food is an important way to remember where one comes from and is a way to share a very "human" and personal part of one's culture. Taste of Home organizes pop-up food events where chefs from the immigrant, refugee, or asylum-seeking communities cook for us.  Chefs are fully compensated for each pop up they cook for and this additional source of income can be very important to some families. It can also foster new friendships with the wider Charlottesville community and build work experience in the U.S. If food is the common denominator that all cultures share, it has the potential to cure the "us and them" mentality.
