Robert Browning
" Food is memories."
Family cooking traditions hold a special place in our hearts and homes. They are more than just the preparation of meals; they are a tapestry of memories, flavors, and shared experiences that bind generations together.
In a world that often feels fast-paced and disconnected, these traditions remind us of the importance of family, heritage, and the simple joy of gathering around the dinner table.
Food is more than just sustenance; it’s a connection to our past and a gateway to our future. The culinary dreams we pursue are often deeply influenced by the tastes, traditions, and stories handed down to us by our parents and grandparents. Their experiences shape our relationship with food and inspire us to forge our own paths in the culinary world.
"You don't need a silver fork to eat good food."
Paul Prudhomme
Food has a remarkable ability to transport us back to cherished moments, evoking powerful memories and emotions. Each bite can remind us of childhood kitchens filled with the warm scents of baked goods and simmering sauces. The meals shared with loved ones often bring back vivid recollections of family gatherings and celebrations, highlighting how our culinary experiences are deeply intertwined with our personal histories.

Slata Mechouia
​
The smoky smell of vegetables slowly roasting over a grill as our cousins hunch over on stools, and fan the flames patiently...the sound of embers popping and crackling underneath. After the vegetables cool, the skins are peeled to reveal tender, juicy delights ready to be drizzled in olive oil. Nothing symbolizes summer in Tunisia more than slata mechouia.
Harissa
Dried chillies are first ground then seasoned with caraway, salt and minced fresh garlic to obtain the Arabic Harissa which is an absolute authentic grandma’s recipe. It is a crucial element in every North African kitchen cupboard. It is usually added to all of these countries’ main savoury dishes and famous recipes. This nicely homemade traditional hot paste full of delightful flavours is fundamental to spice up your soups and sauces.
Merguez
​
A spicy sausage that originated in North Africa and the Middle East, and is traditionally made from lamb or mutton. It's typically long and thin, and is often seasoned with harissa and toasted cumin. We`ll put our own spin on it and serve it up in the shape of meatballs.
Ftayer
​​​
One of the tastiest traditional Tunisian street foods is delicious, deep-fried bread, usually made from yeasted dough, in our case, with added sourdough. It can be enjoyed on its own or with various toppings.
Tunisian Fricassé
One of the ways to truly understand what Tunisian flavours are all about is to give a HUGE bite into a great Tunisian fricassé roll. These traditional Tunisian rolls are made from yeast dough, again in our case added sourdough and if you don’t think this is comforting enough, they are also deep-fried!!! Fricassés are usually stuffed with tuna, olives, harissa, potatoes…. In other words, a combo of flavours that is pure Tunisian goodness.
Bambalouni
​
You can smell it walking down the street in Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, or any medina of Tunisia. The bambalouni is a fried circle of dough, like an empty shell of a donut, covered in sugar. When it is warm and fresh out of the fryer, it is spectacular.
