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 [...]
Confession…. I hate breakfast. I always have. I might enjoy an egg and toast from time to time but I’m not one to wake up and tuck into a big “breakfast-y” meal. I have tried really hard to like “breakfast foods,” foods but they just don’t appeal to me. So I gave up on them. [...]
This gluten-free thing is really resting my cooking skills and creativity. It’s REALLY stretching my limited baking skills. I still haven’t been able to make a good bread, though a few have been decent, but not good. Instead of trying to replicate bread that MarocBaba is so dearly missing I’m trying instead to come up [...]
Maybe it’s warm and toasty in your corner of the world, sadly it’s anything but where I am. This time of the year has always been hard for me. It feels like winter should be long gone and yet stepping outside the door or peeking out my windows all I can see is ice and [...]
Today is the first day of Ramadan in North America. Not sure what that means? Here is a good explanation. The short of it however is that Ramadan is the 9th lunar month on the Islamic calendar and entails fasting from worldly pleasures (food, drink, intimacy…) from sun up until sun down for the entire [...]
This meal was devised out of pure desperation. I was starving, there wasn’t much in the fridge and I didn’t want to order out. Luckily I had some random things in the fridge and was able to throw this together. I don’t think that it would have tasted as good if I would have planned [...]
