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 [...]
A revelation I had during this trip to Morocco was that our diet has clearly changed. While we were once eating meat at every meal we have really relaxed a lot on the quantity and types of meat eaten. If we do eat meat it’s most likely chicken or turkey. You might find red meat [...]
It’s been a few weeks since I have participated in French Friday’s with Dorie, but some of the more recent recipes have really appealed to me. I don’t plan to participate every week because it’s just too hard with my schedule but I will continue to participate as I can. So, this weeks’ recipe is [...]
I’ve blogged my recipe for zaalook at least once but with limited pictures. This isn’t a new recipe but it will give a little more insight into what the recipe looks like as it comes together. Original Recipe. Add a little bit of water
Please forgive my absence the last week or so. My day job has had be putting in many many hours at the office and at home we’ve been eating dinners that I’ve made ahead of time and frozen. (Thank goodness for that!). Things should be settled down now, and I am so grateful. Mixed into [...]
I recently was having a conversation with a friend of mine about Moroccan salads. In the American sense a lot of dishes labeled salads in Morocco are more similar to our concept of side dishes. However in Morocco the salad course is one unto itself, served before the main dish. In a multi-course meal they [...]
Tonight marks the beginning of fall, even though the last few weeks in the Midwest have felt very fall-like. I packed away most of our summer clothes in the beginning of September and my kids don’t leave the house without a sweatshirt in the morning. Even though the temperatures are dipping, I am happy to [...]
