Welcome! Bienvenue! Asslema!
When we started Our Tunisian Table, we envisioned creating a place where we could not only share Tunisian food with those less familiar with it, but also be a community for the greater Tunisian diaspora. A place to discover other cool Tunisians doing their thing across the globe. Part of that includes sharing interviews with Tunisians (and other North Africans) whose work we admire, learning about what makes them tick, and most importantly, finding out what they like to eat. ;)
Tunisian-Ukrainian visual artist, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, has created unique works that explore and weave topics such as immigration, multicultural identities, and politics. Her international upbringing (she grew up between Tunis, Kyiv, and Dubai) has had a strong influence on her work, including her 2012 exhibit at the Tunisian National Museum of Carthage which focused on the theme of Tunisian identity in a post revolution world.
Algerian pastry extraordinaire, Warda Bouguettaya, has taken on the Detroit food scene by storm, with her popular bakery, Warda Pâtisserie. If you’re lucky enough to live in Detroit, get yourself over there now. And if you don’t, keep reading to learn more and add it to your travel wishlist! UPDATE: Due to Covid-19, the bakery is closed until further notice. If you would like to support Warda Pâtisserie staff during this time, please visit their GoFundMe page.
In addition to recipe developing and writing for POPSUGAR, Hajar Larbah runs the wonderful “Moribyan Kitchen” (she’s half Moroccan/half Libyan, hence the name). Read on to hear more about her favorite North African food!
For our next interview, please welcome Khadijah Abdul-Nabi! I (Munya) first met her back in 2004 when we were college freshmen in New York City. We found out we were both half Tunisians and the rest is history!
For our first interview, please welcome Ibrahim Rekik! We first found him through Instagram of course, and are always inspired by his colorful food compositions, homemade bread shots, and tastes of Tunisia in Germany! Read on for more, and let us know in the comments if there’s anyone else you’d like to see featured here!
