I’m Amanda, the only girl up there in the picture.  I’m so glad you’ve come to visit me.  I am a curious world traveling, mom of two busy boys, foodie at heart, and lover of all things Moroccan.  In 2004 I met and fell in love with my husband in fairy-tale fashion on the streets of Marrakech, Morocco and our journey hasn’t slowed down since.

Where Did MarocMama Come From?

In French, Maroc is Morocco and Mama, well that’s universal! I started this blog in 2007 as a way to share my recipes and the recipes of my husbands family as they have been shared with me. As I have grown as an individual and as a mother, it has expanded to include the other areas of our life that are important. You might hear me refer to MarocBaba  - that’s him up there.  Our two boys have international names that no one can spell or pronounce so for clarity’s sake I refer to them as M and K.  M’s the big guy and K’s the little dude.

My hope for this blog is that it provides inspiration to others to explore Moroccan cuisine and culture. I also hope that through our journey as a bi-cultural family I can offer some insight into the triumphs and struggles along the way.  I don’t focus only on Morocco and Moroccan food because that would neglect  a big part of our life – my culture!
