To Lure the French, Don't be Too Sweet
I did an online search that led me to a blog about Algerian cuisine by Farid Zadi (chefzadi.com), a chef who teaches at the California School of Culinary Arts. With his guidance, I was able to reconstruct Bague de Kenza's recipe.
P.S. Thank you everyone for your supportive emails and comments. I am sorry to say that I do not have time to post on the blog these days as often as I would like. I assure you that this blog will continue for a long time with fresh content. In the meantime if you would like to discuss Algerian cooking and the cooking of many other cultures join my forum book of rai forum
Love your site. I am looking for an Algerian restaurant in New York that offers traditional, authentic Algerian cuisine. The only one I could find was Nomad, but this is more "north African fusion" than real Algerian. Can you recommend one?

What a great web site! It's really cool to see *Algerian* cooking and recipes, not just *moroccan* or "middle eastern"! (Although maybe your recipes are a bit spicy for les gens de l'ouest ;)
Viva laldjerie!

Good article and very nice mention of you! I'm going to have to try to make the dziriate, but not before I make my semolina sugar cookies. I haven't had a chance to make those yet. ;-)
Best,
Paz
