Lockdown part. 3






jello (again) everybody my friends around the world,

 Now that I got back into the blogging mood yeah yeah, it is time to get a little more personal and, why not, controversial...? 

music:

I have to insist but I highly recommend you to tune on the forever beautiful playlist of my ex-restaurant l’ALFIERI.
almost 700 tracks that I have gathered in the years behind my bar.
I keep on updating the list on a weekly basis.
an ever green you can always go back to!

a few albums that make me feel alive. 
they're not new, they're not hidden gems but they're soooo good!


podcast:

"Guy Raz dives into the stories behind some of the world's best known companies. How I Built This weaves a narrative journey about innovators, entrepreneurs and idealists—and the movements they built."



book:


"Dan Barber, an award-winning chef, moves beyond “farm-to-table” to offer a revolutionary new way of eating. After more than a decade spent investigating farming communities around the world in pursuit of singular flavor, Barber finally concluded that–for the sake of our food, our health and the future of the land—America’s cuisine required a radical transformation.

 Drawing on the wisdom and experience of chefs, farmers and seed breeders around the world, Barber proposes a new definition for ethical and delicious eating.

 Barber charts a bright path forward for eaters and chefs alike, daring everyone to imagine a future for our national cuisine that is as sustainable as it is delicious."

The time has come for this blog to host my thoughts and impressions on a culture, which surrounds me every day here in Algeria, namely Islam. To me, Algeria is a very puzzling place because it represents greatly the edge between certain radicalism and a progressism that has emerged after the end of the terror period, in 1997. There are many signs of a relative opening towards a more occidental culture since president Bouteflika, who leads this country with an iron glove, has come into power.

A friend of mine told me how easy it was to literally climb on a boat, bribe a couple of officials and travel to Marseille, join relatives or friends for a Pastis on the Canebière. On the other hand, Algeria experiences a great economic
