Moroccan salads are so important to the dinner table. One of the easiest, is this tomato and onion salad. It’s always on the table if there is fish being served and you’re likely to find it in regular rotation with many other meals as well. It may become a new favorite after you give it [...]
I love scouring the condiment aisle at any market I find myself in. When traveling it’s one of the most interesting aisles to explore. You can learn so much about people and their food culture. I never knew mayonnaise was so easy to make! As part of my preparation to move to Morocco, I’ve been [...]
The tajine is a Moroccan slow-cooker. It’s an ancient cooking pot originally used by the indigenous Berbers of North Africa. It is not only the word used to describe the cooking vessel but the meal contained inside. Braniya happens to be one of MarocBaba’s favorite meals, though it was only this year that he “remembered.” [...]
Morocco isn’t known for it’s coffee culture but I’ve found the “coffee culture” inside of many Moroccan homes to be my favorite part of the day. Arabica coffee sometimes mixed with spices and sometimes alone is brewed thick and served with plenty of sweet, whole milk. In honor of Mother’s Day in the United States [...]
If you asked my mom, she would probably tell you I wasn’t a very adventurous eater when I was a child. I liked all of the things every other Midwestern child liked. Hot dogs and hamburgers, casseroles, and of course heavy doses of starches like pasta, bread, and potatoes. It’s what we ate. It’s what [...]
Eeeek! The week got away from me and I didn’t get a chance to try Dorie’s recipe for b’stila. So I guess that means I will just have to share my own! I was really looking forward to this week since it is a Moroccan recipe. I’m guessing it would up in the cookbook [...]
Have you heard of the Bombies? Every year Morocco Blogs hosts the bombies for the best blogs in, about or relating to Morocco. I was nominated for best Moroccan food blog and couldn’t be more excited! Voting is open for a month and it would mean a lot to me if you would stop [...]
Don’t let this picture fool you (it’s pretty low quality!) These were some of the best french fries I’ve made in a long time. It’s so worth the extra time to actually make them from real potatoes than frozen. You can easily change the spices used in this to create “asian” fries “southwestern” fries or [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve to all of you! I’m excited about Round 3 of the Food of the Sun – Appetizers! I came up with this recipe out of the blue one day when I was having people over. I love the little pinwheel sandwiches but usually they have either a) bacon or b) ham [...]
I only caught one of the cooking weeks in October. Last month each week had a specific recipe that everyone would make. However, November there are four recipes and we each are left to pick which recipe we would like to make each week. My first choice this [...]
It would be highly unlikely to find this recipe on a table in Morocco. It’s origins are in the Middle East, mostly Turkey or Greece where there is plenty of cheese consumed! This is a fast and easy appetizer or great accompaniment to a big bowl of soup. As the weather here turns cooler I [...]
