Hello everyone
Food. One of the morst interesting subjects in our daily life. food is not just eating and fulling your stomach, food for me is a savour and a tast, a human evolution and a history telling. because nothing came from and for nothing, food evoluated with the human and we generally don't talk about it.
today, the Algerian food is known in the europe for it's couscous but the algerian food is one of the richest cuisine in the world. Being derived from land and marine production, it is considered as a Mediterranean and North African cuisine based on Berber cuisine. But also the history of algerian colonisation offers a mix of culture so that makes a variety of dishes depending on the region and the season, which gives a very diversified culinary palette.
sadly, in the world people don't know much about Algeria. consequently, they don't know it's food. Thats why i realised that my responsability is to represent it and make it popular in this platform by giving you sometimes a little presentation of a dish and the recipe to try it at home.
so let's begin with a good dessert : the Tamina
