Description
Good to Know
This is more than a cooking class — it’s an invitation into a family home in Algiers. Guests cook alongside Amel and Djezia using traditional family recipes, learn about the stories and customs behind Algerian food, and most of all, having fun. Guests sit down together to share the meal overlooking the Bay of Algiers. The small-group setting makes the experience personal, relaxed and genuinely local, with the option to add a market visit for an even deeper introduction to the city’s food culture.

Guests will join Amel and Djezia in Djezia's home in Algiers for a hands-on introduction to traditional Algerian cooking. Together, you’ll prepare dishes such as couscous, rechta, bourek or harira, learning family recipes, techniques and the stories behind the food.
Guests can also choose to visit a local market with Amel to shop for fresh ingredients and spices, meet local vendors and browse for souvenirs.
Back at the house, you’ll cook together before sitting down to share the meal, with plenty of conversation about Algerian culture, family life and tips for exploring Algiers.
Vegetarian and vegan diets can be accommodated. As well as specific dishes you've been dying to learn how to cook!
