Before I went to Morocco I had never eaten a pistachio. The closest I had come to a pistachio was in the Jello pudding my dad ate. But, once I ate one, well I was hooked – and a little upset that I had missed out on this delicious nut for the first 20 years [...]
Moroccan pastries are small, bite size gems of deliciousness. Most have nuts, usually almonds, honey, and powdered sugar. Sadly, the majority also have wheat making them off-limits for us. Ramadan is right around the corner and I have been re-making all of our favorite treats into gluten-free replicas. Are you ready for a ghriba-a-palooza? I’ve [...]
Do your kids cringe at the sight of cooked carrots? One of the easiest and most delicious Moroccan salads is this cooked carrot salad served at room temperature and dressed with a simple vinaigrette. When I was growing up I, like many other kids, wasn’t too fond of cooked vegetables. But, fresh vegetables well that [...]
This weekend is considered the start of summer in the United States. So, it makes sense that the theme for this weeks’ Sunday Supper is Picnics. It seems like we missed spring and are jumping right into summer considering we’ve only been without snow on the ground the last three weeks. I however, am not [...]
This week I’m participating in #WeekdaySupper, where contributors share easy meal ideas to help you get dinner on the table. As soon as the snow melts here, and sometimes when it’s still flying, our grill is on overdrive. Most everyone loves grilled burgers, but I like to mix that up. This recipe combines the Moroccan [...]
I was lucky enough to gain an advance viewing of Unity Productions Foundation latest feature Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World. I am a bit of a documentary geek and was interested to see how this story would be told. I was captivated. This video is one of the most beautiful and interesting films I [...]
This month I’m participating in the BlogHer Book Club and the selection was The Underside of Joy by Sere Prince Halverson. As I’ve shared a few times on here I am an avid reader. That being said this is not the type of book I normally pick up. I like sticking to old favorites [...]
This is truly a Moroccan cookbook love year. First it was Paula Wolfert’s Food of Morocco and then [amazon_link id="1579654290" target="_blank" ]Mourad: New Moroccan[/amazon_link] from Mourad Lahlou. There have been many articles like this one, and this one, and this one, in the press about the way that each of these authors present Moroccan food. It [...]
Ramadan is about a week away and I’ve been busy starting to cook and freeze some of our staples for the month. One thing that I always struggle with is eating breakfast. During this month Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset, and with this holiday falling in the summer that length [...]
It’s now been a few weeks since I’ve gotten back from Eat, Write, Retreat and I’ve had lots of time to play around with all my new goodies from the conference. While I really love everything that we were given these are the ones that really stuck out and I’ve either eaten all that I [...]
Who knew there was more on top of Capitol Hill than political scum? I spent a little more than a year calling the Hill home, tromping all around the area, and eating in dozens of restaurants. However, only 15 minutes into our tour with DC Metro Food Tours during Eat, Write, Retreat I realized there [...]
