There are recipes that are much more than food ― they are family history. At Beit Elfarasha, nestled inside a renovated Ottoman gem in the old city of Akko, Khadija Abd Elani opens the door to her culinary heritage.
Roll up your sleeves and cook by her side in our modern, well-equipped kitchen, while she explains about the preparation of the dishes and shares the stories and secrets that have filled her family’s table for generations. When the workshop is over, not only will you leave satisfied and return home with new cooking skills ― you will also leave with a new friend in Akko.

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.
Come and Taste Experience Discover – the Westen Galilee is NOW!
