What happens when a Sudanese woman in Australia starts a cooking school for refugee men?

Dè a thachras nuair a thòisicheas boireannach Sudanach ann an Astràilia air sgoil chòcaireachd dha na fir teicheach agus a dh'iarras i orra cuirm ullachadh dha na measadairean as motha a th' aca - mnathan nan èildear? Cha bhi mnathan Sudan a' ceadachadh dha na fir a thighinn a-steach dhan chidsin oir (am measg adhbharan eile) tha iad a' smaoineachadh gum faodadh iad am boid a losgadh os cionn teintean na còcaireachd. Ach nuair a lorgar buidheann teicheach de fhir Sudan ann an Adeleide, Astràilia agus iad gus bàsachadh leis an acras seach nach eil fhios aca dè a dhèanadh iad le frids làn bidhe, feumaidh rudeigin atharrachadh. Tha Ayen Kuol, obraiche-slàinte Sudanach, a' dèanamh a h-inntinn suas dùbhlan a thoirt dha millean bliadhna de chleachdadh is chultar, agus sgoil chòcaireachd a thòiseachadh dha fir Afragànach. Tha na ginealaichean a' sabaid airson còir fhaighinn a bhith sa chidsin agus mu dheireadh tha Ayen a' cur an dùbhlain mun coinneimh. Tha na balaich a' dol a dheasachadh cuirm dha mnathan nan èildear.

What happens when a Sudanese woman in Australia starts a cooking school for the refugee men and asks them to prepare a feast for their biggest critics - the elders' women? Women in Sudan often do not allow men into the kitchen because some believe their penises might burn over the cooking fires. But when a group of refugee Sudanese men in Adelaide, Australia are found starving because they don't know what to do with a fridge full of groceries, something has to change. Ayen Kuol, a Sudanese health worker decides to challenge years of tradition and start a cooking school for African men. The generations battle it out for their right to be in the kitchen and Ayen eventually throws down the gauntlet. The boys must cook a feast for the elder women.
