In Denmark, ethnic minority women from non-western backgrounds are the group of residents with the lowest employment rate. The social enterprise explains how they\u2019re trying to change that on their website:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Send More Spices, we know that it is not due to lack of motivation, but to the labor market requirements for language, education and work experience, which many women unfortunately cannot honor. With Send More Spices, we have created an alternative that wants to defy the statistics, and, instead of speaking about lack of competencies\u2026recognizes women&#8217;s cooking and cooking skills as the company&#8217;s sustainable business base.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With Send More Spices, we have created an alternative that wants to defy the statistics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shazia experienced this challenge firsthand: \u201cBecause we come from other countries and want to find a job here, it\u2019s very difficult because we\u2019re not used to that in our own country.\u201d She herself comes from Pakistan, where women are typically not expected to work outside the home. It\u2019s also where she learned to cook from her mother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must tell you about my mother. When I was a teenager, I was in college. I was not interested in making food, but I was very interested in eating it\u2026I love to eat Pakistan\u2019s food. After [college], I became engaged with my fianc\u00e9 and my mother told me I had to learn how to make food. \u2018It\u2019s very important,\u2019 [she said], \u2018you have great education, you\u2019re beautiful and intelligent, but when you\u2019re married, food is very important for your husband, your husband\u2019s family, and your children. If you can make good food, you can give it to your family.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4894\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Tastes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4894\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Tastes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Tastes.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Tastes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Tastes-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Each woman brings a unique set of flavors to Send More Spices. <em>Original artwork by Gina Lorubbio for GFJ Stories.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>After her first cooking lesson, her mother told her how skilled she was \u2013 with her sharp memory, Shazia never forgets an ingredient. She says that it took about a decade to become really good. To this day when she\u2019s in the kitchen, she says, \u201cI\u2019m often thinking of my mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why is it called Send More Spices? Their website explains that the women \u201cin the 1980s and 1990s always asked their family in their home country if they wanted to send more spices to Denmark. At that time there were no green grocers on each corner and when there were finally supplies from abroad, you had to queue for hours to get a small knot of ginger or a bundle of mint.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When she\u2019s in the kitchen, she says, \u201cI\u2019m often thinking of my mother.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Shazia\u2019s mother sends her recipes, which she workshops to make more delicious and ready to share with diners at Send More Spices. \u201cIt\u2019s my culture, my traditional food\u2026I want to show my country\u2019s food. I want to show my best,\u201d she says proudly.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, she has shifted from loving to eat food to loving to make it, too: \u201cI love to make food because I\u2019m very interested in the different countries [the] women are coming from\u2026they have different tastes in their hands.\u201d There is something special in the air of Send More Spices, and I believe it has to do with the women who create dishes, as well as the bonds that they create with each other. When I asked Shazia about this, her face lit up before I even finished the question:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe other women, we\u2019ve become very best friends. We\u2019re used to eating with each other\u2026 It\u2019s too good\u2026Always, we\u2019re helping each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I was in the throes of learning the language, navigating the new streets, and wondering if I\u2019d ever feel like I belong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On the day that I came to visit, everyone greeted me with smiles. Shazia showed me the kitchen, buzzing with women of all ages. One of her colleagues, a woman from Cambodia, was stirring a pot of stew over a hot flame to serve at their \u201cTuesday Food Club.\u201d This atmosphere felt extremely potent to me, as I myself had moved to Denmark from the U.S. just six months earlier. I was in the throes of learning the language, navigating the new streets, and wondering if I\u2019d ever feel like I belong. Seeing this group of women talk, laugh, and work together, and extend warmth to everyone who walked in, gave me hope that someday this new country might feel like home for me, too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4892\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Helping.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4892\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Helping.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Helping.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Helping-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodfoodjobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Send-More-Spices-Helping-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The women pitch in to bring recipes from each other&#8217;s home countries to life. <em>Original artwork by Gina Lorubbio for GFJ Stories.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHow do you say \u2018welcoming\u2019 in Danish?\u201d I asked Shazia. \u201cVenlig,\u201d she said.
