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 [...]
You may have heard there’s a little event going on today. Well, if you live in the US you couldn’t have missed it. It’s Superbowl time! For those of my readers who don’t know it’s a football game and an excuse for many Americans to overindulge in food, alcohol and noise. I grew up watching [...]
The theme for this week’s Sunday Supper was “Retro Recipes,” and truthfully it was a little bit of a challenge for me! I’m still young enough that the generation I grew up in isn’t retro yet. While one of my grandmother’s cooked a lot, she made meals that would be considered more ethnic fare. There [...]
A few weeks ago I shared the recipe for Meat and Vegetable Casserole with Pomegranate and let you know I was participating with a few other food bloggers to bring the cookbook An Edible Mosaic to our readers. Last year I started a cook and tweet event with Laura of The Spiced Life. Sadly due [...]
Can you believe Eid as at the end of this week? I’ve been so busy that it snuck up and now I’m scrambling to get my menu in place and invitations out. I keep asking myself when I’m going to find time to actually cook! Usually I make mechoui and brochettes along with several different [...]
Today for the first time, I dropped off both of my boys at elementary school. I’ve been dreaming about this day for at least the last 5 weeks. We have had a REALLY full summer and for someone like me, who thrives on having a routine and schedule I’ve been gritting my teeth and holding [...]
Recently my sister moved to the town we live in. I am so excited that my niece and nephews are close by! When I first visited Morocco and met MarocBaba my sister was with and it’s safe to say she played some part in creating the events that led to us meeting. She also grew [...]
