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 [...]

I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you I am a little nervous posting this recipe. You see, until this weekend I never realized the level of reverence Moroccans have for couscous. It’s the “national dish” of Morocco and in a recent Twitter conversation I was shocked to discover Moroccans take offense to the term [...]
If there is anyone that knows Moroccan food it’s Paula Wolfert. She truly is the queen, the Julia Child’s of Moroccan food in America. I adore her cookbooks and she is truly such a very kind and wonderful person. I hope that I have the honor of meeting her very soon. This is her recipe [...]
Have you ever planned a meal in your head certain that you had everything on hand, then gotten halfway into making it only to realize you’re missing a key ingredient? Yea…that’s what happened with this recipe. I had plans to make a one dish meal of chicken and rice…except believe it or not I was [...]
Last week in my grocery shopping I came across the bin of fall vegetables. This might not be a phenomenon where you are but it is definetely common here in the Midwest. (I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture). Imagine a pallet with solid sides, about 4 feet high - LOADED with squash and [...]
Couscous is one of the national dishes of Morocco however, it’s a dish that I rarely make. This is not because I don’t love it (because I do!) It does take some time to make the couscous and it also takes a little practice to get the flavors right. I have been told that you [...]
