Meat Free Mondays Visits Algeria

April's destination on our plant-based tour of world cuisine is exotic ALGERIA with Karima Katharina!

In her own words, "Although I grew up in Germany, I have always been influenced by many different cultures. My father comes from a small region in the mountains of Algeria: Kabylia. The Kabylians are a group of the indigenous Amazigh people. Due to its diverse colonial history, Algeria and Algerian cuisine have many cultural influences, especially Mediterranean such as Turkish, Greek, Italian, but also Middle Eastern and sub-Saharan African. It is rich in spices, colors and flavors. I have fond memories of peeling tomatoes with my grandmother and the kitchen was ALWAYS the busiest place in the house. My family is very fond of good food and so I am happy to share a small part of the richness of Algerian cuisine and culture with you. Look forward to sweet dates and spices that warm the heart, as well as a little dance performance by the indigenous people of North Africa!"

Starter- Schorba - a vegetable soup with coriander
Main - Seksou - couscous and vegetables with red sauce
Dessert - Rrfis - semolina and date cake!

Join for free and learn about Algerian culture and cooking while you help Karima prepare the food, or come for dinner and entertainment at 6pm.

We'd love it if you could bring your own plates and cutlery - it helps reduce the pile of dishes our volunteers have to do at the end of the night!
