For the Albanian diaspora

Your grandmother's
kitchen. At your door.

Zemra digitizes recipes from Albanian grandmothers across the diaspora and delivers authentic home-cooked meals — made the way Teta always made them.

✿

Starting in the US. Expanding worldwide.

The problem

You haven't tasted home cooking in years.

You grew up watching Teta roll byrek in the kitchen — flour in the air, the smell of qofte sizzling on the grill, tavë kosi bubbling in the oven for hours. You moved away. You built a life. But the taste never left you.

Albanian food in the diaspora means either inconsistent restaurants, expensive plane tickets home, or trying to recreate your grandmother's recipes yourself and never quite getting there.

Nobody was making this for you. So we are.

How it works

One grandmother. One recipe. Then the world.

We find a Teta

We visit grandmothers across Albania and Kosovo, recording their recipes in their own words — in Albanian, with their stories, their corrections, their secrets.

We digitize the recipe

Our AI transforms voice recordings and hand-written notes into precise, scalable recipes. Ingredients measured, techniques translated, flavor preserved.

We deliver to your door

Meal kits or fully prepared meals — made from real Albanian farms and producers — shipped fresh to Albanian families in the US and beyond.

On the menu

Tavë Kosi

Lamb and rice baked in fermented milk — Albania's national dish, the way your great-grandmother made it

Byrek me Spinaq

Layers of paper-thin filo filled with spinach and feta. Flaky. Salty. Irresistible.

Qofte të Fërguara

Spiced lamb meatballs, pan-fried crisp. The scent of a Kosovo summer kitchen.

Flija

Stacked crêpe-style layers of meat, yogurt, and onions — the dish Kosovo made for celebrations.

Fërgesë Tirane

Bell peppers, tomatoes, cottage cheese, garlic — the comfort food of Tirana.

Trileqe

Sweet, milky, layered custard. The dessert nobody knows about. Everyone remembers forever.

New dishes added every season. Each one sourced from a real Albanian family.

✿

Food is memory. Food is home. Food is the one thing that travels perfectly across oceans — when it's made by someone who loves you.
