A wonderful lesson in Tunisian cooking and culture - My mum and I had a brilliant time on the cooking experience. The day began with being picked up by Amal who was our excellent guide and translator for the day. She was so friendly and helpful, and we learnt a lot about Tunisian culture from her. We were brought to a local market which was full of fresh produce before going back to the house where our workshop took place. It was so lovely to be welcomed into Sawsen's beautiful home, and she made us feel at home with some mint tea and makrouth pastries. With Amal's help, the cook (mother of Sawsen) showed us how to make a few Tunisian typical foods, producing a wonderful lunch! We were so pleased with the tasty food. Sawsen and Mami were so kind and generous. Communication with Amal and the Othentic team was friendly and efficient, and all our dietary requirements were catered for. Thank you Amal, Sawsen and Mami for such a unique day, that went well beyond our expectations!

Authentic culinary experience which exceeds expectations - This is a ‘must do’ for an authentic Tunisian culinary and cultural experience. Thoroughly enjoyed shopping for fresh local ingredients with host, Sawsen, and cooking the three delicious Tunisian dishes with the expertise of chef, Mami. With Amal, tour guide, they shared their vast knowledge of the ingredients and spices used, the local traditions with food, and gave insider tips for cooking the food to achieve the best results. From start to finish, the experience exceeded my expectations, was fun, and I highly recommend it. Can’t wait to try these dishes at home. I have had cooking experiences in other countries and this one has been the best by far.
