Incorporate Algerian flavors into delicate modern pastries

Discover Algerian Maritozzi and give classic brioche dough an Algerian touch with delicious creamy fillings, flavored with mint, date and orange.

You will learn to make Muhallebi, an Algerian rice pudding with a smooth grainless texture which can be served hot or cold.

Warda’s Desert Rose Tart incorporates the flavors of rose, pistachio and pomegranate. Here you can master preparations such as frangipane, whipped ganache, and a pomegranate gel. You will learn to make mirror glaze without the addition of fake colors or flavors, and finally see how Warda assembles the finished product.
