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 [...]
My favorite part of a Moroccan meal isn’t the main dish. I have never really loved meat and, at least with my mother-in-law, most of the meals are pretty heavy in that department. No, my favorite part of the meal is the salad assortment that comes out first. I think my love of tapas in [...]
This week’s Sunday Supper theme is awesome. I’m so excited! Everyone is sharing a movie inspired recipe. Even though I loathe it, I wonder if you can guess which movie I’ve chosen? Want to know a little insider secret? There’s no such place as Rick’s Cafe – never was. Flocks of tourists visit Casablanca every [...]
Is there anything better than a cheese dip? I think not! One of my very favorite restaurants is The Melting Pot but we live nearly two hours from the closest one. I also am always sad that the fondues I want to try inevitably have alcohol in them. Recently we were having some family members [...]
See that? It’s probably one of the most recognizable symbols around the world. I’ve always dreamed of the day I made it to France to see L’tour Eiffel up close and personal. On our way to Morocco we had a 13 hour layover in Paris and there was no chance we were spending it [...]
One thing this Ramadan has brought for me is the testing out of several new appetizers. I’ll admit my repetoire in this department is limited but luckily I’ve tried several new things. I’m going to be posting several of them over the next few days. First up is a cheesy puffy appetizer. I originally saw [...]
This is an exciting week for me and MarocMama, it’s a full week of olive love! It should come as no surprise to many that we eat a lot of olives. Morocco is well known for their olives and olive oil. I always come home with kilos of them in my suitcase. But they only [...]
Over the weekend we spent a lot of much needed time with family, enjoying each other and being outside. I even took a technology break. I rarely checked my phone, wasn’t emailing or checking in anywhere. It really was a great vacation. One of the things that we did was to visit my dad at [...]
I’m letting you in on a little secret of mine. I’ve never said where I live but today is the day. I’ve called Wisconsin home most of my life except for a few years when we lived in Washington DC. I didn’t always live in the same city and in fact the two cities I [...]
