Paying strangers $200 to cook traditional meals

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Food blogger Shabelle Hatem offers strangers $200 to cook for her in their homes across Sydney, creating viral content that showcases Australia's multicultural cuisine. The social experiment, inspired by a similar concept in Lebanon, captures both rejections and acceptances as people open their doors to share traditional dishes from Greek, Persian, Lebanese and other cultural backgrounds. Hatem, who grew up cooking with her mother, uses the project to highlight community diversity and human kindness through food.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
