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 [...]
Last week I came across red snapper at our grocery store. This must have been some weird fluke because generally it doesn’t show up here – ever. Of course I bought some. I knew that I wanted to do a review of Mourad Lahlou’s new cookbook this week and found the recipe for Black Cod in [...]
The first time I went to Essaouira I had only been in the physical presence of my then-fiance 5 days. It was on my second trip to Morocco (the first having been when we met). It was in March and I was on spring break from college. I remember the weather being cold as the [...]
A favorite outing for MarocBaba and I when in Morocco has always being going for pizza. Believe it or not Moroccan pizza is really very good. My first choice is always the pepperoni (because it’s halal) or the margherita dotted with Moroccan black olives. MarocBaba however prefers his pizza to include seafood…like shrimp or anchovies. [...]
Whew!! This was one of the longest weeks I’ve had in a long time. Generally I only work part-time at my day job however we had a big fundraising event this week (of which I am in charge) and frankly I barely had time to sleep and eat. I believe I punched about 50 hours [...]
Today I have a new recipe for you along with meal ideas for tomorrow. I’ve done a lot of prep work ahead of Ramadan as I had a kid-less weekend (makes cooking in large quantities much easier), as well as the help of a good friend! I like to have breads and treats ready for [...]
So how hot is it by you? It’s scorching here – the heat index soared above 100F today and sweat beads were dripping off my face anytime I set foot outside. It’s safe to say I’m not cooking in the house. Why you might ask…we don’t have central air. So today’s recipe is one [...]
