Ahmed bakes fathir, Berenike, Egypt - photography by Zbigniew Kosc, 1998
..........

Every day Ahmed bakes flat cakes (fathir). He rolls the round, white pieces of dough on a stick and throws them with a swift and skillful movement on the heated lid of an old and rusty metal vat. The food lovers gather round him, when I pass by they invite me to join them for their meal. It is always nice to be with them, to squat on the ground, eat the plain cakes, and watch them, their eyes reflecting their joy of life.
