Albanian chef in France to cook for free Albanian dishes for refugees

Armand Hasanpapaj and hos mother

 Armand Hasanpapaj has been living in France since he was 16 years old and for the last 10 years he has been working as a cook, where he is considered one of the best chiefs of France.

The 25-year-old from Tropoja undertook recently the initiative with his mother to cook on the special day of June 20 in support of the refugees.

"On Sunday, June 20, a special day in support of refugees, my mother and I will cook Albanian dishes at Place Carnot, Lyon 2," he wrote on his Facebook profile.

Armand has cultivated his passion for cooking since he went to France, as he used to be a dancer. He said that he inherited this passion from his mother, who was a pastry chef and had her own pastry shop in Tirana.
