For one afternoon, the road from field to table runs straight through Downtown. At Bellies En-Route’s space, two Nawaya cooks bring their craft to a small circle of guests—inviting you to stir, taste, and listen as they reveal the traditional secrets of Egyptian home-cooking. You’ll whisk your way through bessara in its seasonal variations, toss a foul & freek salad that’s bright and earthy, and finish with a creamy balouza, that proves how far humble ingredients can go. The betaw bread—baked ahead and served warm—waits to be torn and dipped into what you’ve just made.
As the room fills with the scent of garlic and herbs, savor your delicious creations & walk away with a renewed sense pride. You’ll leave with recipes and new skills, yes—but more than that, with a deeper connection to the food that shapes us.
