Preparing Couscous, Algeria (1889): A Timeless Tradition in North African Cuisine This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional Algerian woman skillfully preparing couscous, a staple dish of North African cuisine, in the late 1880s. The image, taken in Algeria in 1889, showcases the intricacies of the couscous-making process, which has remained an integral part of Algerian culture for centuries. In the foreground, we see the woman expertly using a couscoussière, a traditional two-tiered pot, to steam the tiny granules of couscous. The top tier holds the couscous, which is covered with a cloth to keep it moist, while the bottom tier contains the simmering broth. The woman's deft hands manipulate the couscous, separating the grains and fluffing them up, ensuring they absorb the rich flavors of the broth. Surrounding the pot, various utensils and ingredients are scattered, including a mortar and pestle for grinding spices, a wooden spoon for stirring the broth, and a large bowl for mixing the couscous with vegetables, meat, or other ingredients. The aroma of the simmering couscous wafts through the air, filling the room with the tantalizing scent of North Africa. Despite the passage of time, the image transports us back to a simpler era, where the preparation of a meal was a communal and cherished experience. The racial and ethnic diversity of Algeria is evident in the woman's features, reflecting the rich tapestry of cultures that have influenced the region's cuisine. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of couscous in Algerian culture and the importance of food in connecting us to our past and to the traditions of our ancestors.
