all about Salima

I moved to London from Algeria at the age of 13 with my parents. I decided on a quieter life in Bristol 2 years ago after over 20 years of being a Londoner and haven’t looked back since.

My career was in property previously but my true passion has always been making food. My love for making food pre-dates to my childhood years, stood in the kitchen with my mum making notes on ingredients she used and how she used them and she always loved teaching me (still does)

Algerian Food is not well known in the UK and I would like to share some of my own favourite Algerian dishes that so full of culture and history.

all about my food

Algerian (or Maghrib) cuisine, like most North African cuisines, has been influenced by different cultures and nations over the centuries – starting with the Berbers (Kabyle people being one of Berber’s indigenous groups) – that have contributed something unique to the country’s culinary delights. Followed by the Ottoman Empire, the Arabs, the Spanish and the French.

Algeria’s cuisine is an eclectic mix of flavours, aromas and textures, It is colourful Mediterranean and North African cuisine with Berber roots!
