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’m in New York City and Washington DC with my family for the next few weeks and knew that my time would be limited. You may have noticed I’m not posting as often, I apologize. I’m working in a small kitchen without all the ingredients and tools I normally have. It’s improvisation at it’s best! [...]
The heat index is supposed to be around 105F today. I will not be turning on the oven for even a second! When we first looked for a house to rent, central air conditioning was not something I worried about. I was more worried about finding a home that had a low cost heating source. [...]
Last week I asked my Facebook fans (you are a fan right?) what they’re go to meals are for summer time. If you are anything like me spending hours in the kitchen during the summer months is low on your priority list. I’ve been making a lot of really fast and easy dishes on the [...]
There was a time when K, my youngest son refused to eat most anything. He picked at everything we put in front of him and the only kind of meat that was going to pass his mouth was in chicken nugget form. I struggled for months with his weight and nutrition. He continued to border [...]
I grew up eating pasta of every shape and size. From the time I could stand on a chair and see over the kitchen counter my grandma had me by her side rolling pasta and gnocchi. Meals of fresh noodles coated in butter and asiago cheese were common. Chicken noodle soup was chock full of [...]
I first heard about corn grit couscous from Paula Wolfert (trust me she’s my catalyst to so many uncovered corners of Moroccan cooking). I was apprehensive. I was puzzled. I really didn’t think it would be good – at all. The image I have of grits is a gooey sticky mess with some butter and [...]
