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 [...]
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 [...]

Can you believe that delicious dish came out of my slow cooker? I’ve been craving a meal that is melt in your mouth delicious but I’ve had almost no energy since we came back from vacation. This meal really hit the spot. If I told you this meal is easy to make would you believe [...]
Lamb or mutton is a meat that was new to me. My first memory encountering this was at a seder meal every 5th grader at my church attended. The seder meal marks the beginning of passover in Judaism. Don’t ask me why a bunch of Scandinavian Lutherans included this practice in their congregation. They [...]
Whenever I tell someone MarocBaba is Moroccan, the conversation almost always ends up on couscous. Even for people who have little knowledge about the country itself they know couscous. It’s one of my favorite dishes too but not so for MarocBaba. He never really liked it growing up and since he has been diagnosed with [...]
I am no stranger to Middle Eastern food though many Moroccan “foodies” would argue that Moroccan food isn’t Middle Eastern food. I would tend to agree with that. This recipe is a great example of just how true that is. I am participating with several other food bloggers taking part in a virtual potluck using [...]
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 [...]
