"People bring me lemons from their trees, oranges, avocados, like neighbors and friends would, she said. That kind of gesture makes sense at the Still Life Cafe."
"Whatever my mother or father cooked, I'm trying to recreate those dishes," she explained. Her menu draws on flavors from both France and Algeria, her family's homeland.
"The car could not go up the village, so we would have to walk with all the luggage and get to my grandmother's place," she said. "We lived exactly like the people in the mountains, barefoot, running around and sleeping all together in one room."
With her daughter, Kenza, serving tables and their dog, Carlos, curled up by the piano, the Still Life Cafe embodies a welcoming and homely atmosphere.
