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 [...]
Now that I have encouraged you to take a break from cooking by entering to win a great Saffron Road Foods entree (you still have 2 days left!) I think it’s high time you had a chance at another reward. We are avid lunch packers in my house. I bring one to work everyday and MarocBaba and [...]
This Ramadan has been an interesting one. I was very excited before the month began when I found out that Whole Foods would be doing a (even if small) campaign reaching out (I love the comments on this article) to Muslim communities. I think that for many Muslims including myself is so refreshing to see mainstream [...]
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. ~ Khalil Gibran I wish you all could join me at my table. But until then here’s some ideas to get you through tomorrow. Suhoor: I love this recipe from TLC because of how unique it is. (PS who knew TLC had recipes?) Mexican Omelet Roll-up with [...]
Two weeks ago I shared several different olive recipes using Lindsay Olives. I hope that you liked them as much as I did. When I sat down to write this post I remembered something I had written a long time ago that I titled A Train and a Tale of Olives. It’s hard to imagine [...]
On the weekends I usually take a little more time to prepare larger meals and favorite foods. For me during the week it’s just too hard to keep up and I’m usually too tired for any major cooking after a day at work. I try and circumvent a lot of this stress by cooking a [...]
Todays’ meal plan is going to be short and sweet. I have guests coming this weekend and a prep work to do for next week as well as a few new recipes to test out. How are you doing? How have you liked the food so far? In the coming weeks I will be trying [...]
