Traditional Algerian Baklawa / Baklava – Family Recipe
This is the most famous Algerian ‘heloua’. You will find it at all the weddings & special occasions. It isn’t all that difficult to make but is a bit time consuming. It freezes OK too!

Traditional Algerian Rechta (Noodles) – Family Recipe!
Rechta (pronunced rish-ta) is a dish comprising of flat noodles and a chicken sauce (Marga bil djedj). Many people buy rechta noodles from the market already made – as many women add to their income by selling them. Rechta noodles keep very well in the freezer. You’ll need a pasta machine for this recipe…
Algerian M’shewsha. No Oil – Healthier Version!!! Breakfast Dish
M’shewsha is a delicious Algerian dish made with lots of eggs, a little semolina & a little flour. Most traditional recipes call for quite a lot of oil, my other recipe has reduced oil in it but I wanted to find a healthier version – here it is! You pour warm honey over it & allow it to soak in……..delicious! M’shewsha can be enjoyed for breakfast or with afternoon coffee – it tastes like a cross between cake, a fluffy pancake & French toast! Traditional, it is thought to give you a lot of strength – manual labourers eat it often, as do women who’ve just had a baby! This is also great for Suhor during Ramadan – yum!
Felfel B’tomatish – Algerian Pepper & Tomato Salad
This is a classic Algerian ‘salad’ dish. You can either grill the tomatoes & peppers over an open flame, deep fry them or roast them. My family loves this recipe & we always mop it up with fresh bread! You can also serve this as part of a mezze selection. The vinegar is of course optional but it acts as a flavour enhancer so I do recommend at least trying a little of the salad with a few drops of vinegar on!
