16th Mediterranean Cooking Event ? Libya

We remain in in the north of Africa. Our next stop is Libya which is dominated by the Sahara. The cuisine contains Milk, corn, rice and dates but also olives and olive oil. Of course no pork is eaten in Libya but certainly lamb, veal and fish are on the menu.

The food is traditionally served on big plates. No drinks are being served during dinner. After the dinner water or milk is being passed around. The meal is being ended with coffee.

Of course the Libyan cuisine is influenced by the Berber, that is why it is often called a “tent cuisine” but also the Italian cuisine has a strong impact on the libyan cooking.

Start date is the 10th of January 2011.

End date is the 10th of February 2011.

This great cookbook waits for the winner!
