MENA Cooking Club - Join In!

As-Salaamu Alaykum,

Noor from Ya Salam Cooking has created a new and exciting cooking club Middle Eastern & North African cuisine.

You don't have to be a blogger, live in or originate from a middle eastern / north african country to participate you just have to love trying new things, spices and beautiful food. that's you, right?

Each month there is a new country and a new host. The host picks 1 savoury and 1 sweet recipe for us to try and we all reveal our results on the same day.

I'm happy to be hosting the first month. We are cooking dishes from Algeria.

Please head on over to Ya Salam Cooking for more details and fill out this form to join in!
