Hello,

Enjoying the local food of your expat country is great, but learning to cook the dishes yourself is even better. Please share what it's like cooking like a local in Egypt.

What are some of the most popular local dishes that are easy to prepare?

What are the most common ingredients used in dishes in Egypt? Where can you purchase them?

Is there a specific technique or a secret ingredient to master the local cuisine?

Are there resources available to teach you to cook like a local (classes, websites, etc.)?

What are the advantages of learning to prepare local dishes in Egypt?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

I have not cooked yet in Egypt but have a good friend from Egypt and learned from him how to cook his cuisine. They use eggplant a lot. I know a few recipes that I would love to share with you. If you are in Egypt, I can teach you in a few months. I will be coming in June.
