Beit Elfarasha (Butterfly House) invites you to learn how to prepare real, authentic Akko-style food.
The workshop includes a personal meeting and acquaintance with the host, followed by a tour of the local market in Akko, accompanied by explanations and the purchase of fresh raw materials from the market that will be used by us later for cooking in the workshop.
After the tour, we will return to Beit Elfarasha and start the cooking workshop.
Workshop Menu:
At the end of the workshop we will sit down to a joint meal together.
During the workshop, participants will also prepare pickles to take home with them.
Suitable for a minimum of 8 people.
Our initiative is based on two main ideas:
First, to empower local women in Akko, most of whom are housewives.
Second, the cooking workshops conducted by local women are an opportunity to get to know more closely the daily life and lifestyle and customs of the locals in Old Akko.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
