Tastes of the Nile
Great Food - Egyptian Style
I have been cooking delicious Egyptian Style food in and around London for many years. I am not Egyptian but married to an Egyptian and love the country, the culture, the people and most of all the food. My food is a reflection of the melting pot that is Egypt: a harmonious mix of cultures, traditions, influences and ingredients from around the world.
I have tried to create some very authentic dishes that will taste as they would in Egypt. I have adapted some recipies to reflect current trends in the UK and have some not Egyptian but very tasty things that are partucular favourites of mine.
At every stage, I take extreme care in what I am doing and am very proud of every single plate of food that I serve. I hope that you will take the opportunity to visit me in my little shop (not quiet a restaurant, not really a café) just a lovely place to pass the time where you can sit and enjoy a bite to eat, play a game of backgammon or just have a coffee and a chat. I look forward to your visit

Huge best and thanks again. Nenagh
Elaine El-Essawy catered for my sixtieth birthday party in a field in
Norfolk a couple of summers ago. There were over 200 guests and conditions
weren't ideal for mass catering but she did the most amazing job - not only
did she rustle up truly delicious food, but she did it with grace, good
humour and extraordinary efficiency and speed - she seemed to magic the food
out of nowhere. In fact she was the hit of the evening. And it was all very
modestly priced. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
