The friendliest table in Athens, the table of the 20th Athens Antiracist Festival, will be set with flavours from many different parts of the world. Migrant/refugee cooking will once more take centre stage during the three days of the festival, as refugees and migrants, men and women from Asia, Africa and the Middle East will prepare savoury and sweet traditional dishes from their homelands.
