Have you ever wanted to make a perfect maqluba? Here is your chance. Join Mimi Khativ at Beit Elfarasha in the Old City of Akko for an afternoon where cooking becomes a story. Mimi, a local culinary artist, will guide you through the dishes that speak to the heart of Arab cuisine ― harira soup that warms from the inside, fragrant musakhan with sumac and caramelized onions, and the dramatic exposure of the maqluba when it flips over on the table. Learn the tricks that only come from years in the kitchen and deep roots in this ancient port city. We will make a vegetarian kubaneh, a market salad from the freshest ingredients in the Akko market, and finish with the sweet crunch of matabak. This is not just a cooking class ― it is an invitation to Mimi’s kitchen, her stories, and the flavors that make Akko unforgettable. Kosher-style preparation. Come hungry, leave inspired.

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.
