Why we created this trip
We created this trip to tell Algeria through what it eats every day. From the lanes of Algiers to the tables of the East, we move from recipes you learn to make to specialities you eat standing up, from markets to popular addresses, showing how each region has its own taste, its own habits and its own stories. The cooking workshop in Algiers opens the journey with the gesture; the road does the rest.
Trip highlights
- A cooking workshop in Algiers: the trip's signature experience, cook before you taste the city.
- Markets, stalls and street food as the common thread of every stage.
- Tipaza by the sea, Bousaada around zfiti, Constantine around its great family recipes, Annaba between bourek, frik and Mediterranean cooking.
- A small-group road trip, ending with an Annaba–Algiers flight.
