Full description

Start your experience with a convenient pick-up at your hotel in Djerba and meet your local host. Your journey begins with a walk through a lively neighbourhood market, where you discover local life and buy fresh ingredients as a Tunisian family would. From seasonal vegetables to traditional products, see how locals choose the best ingredients for their everyday cooking.

After the market visit, go to a traditional Tunisian home where your hands-on cooking class begins. Guided by your host, prepare two iconic dishes: couscous and brik. Learn authentic techniques, from preparing the semolina to folding and frying the brik so that it is perfectly crispy.

Once the cooking is done, take a seat at the table and enjoy the meal you prepared in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The experience ends with traditional mint tea and the chance to relax, swap stories and immerse yourself in Tunisian culture before returning to your hotel.
