There were two ingredients that had me really excited this past week…. 1. The gorgeous pomegranates that are around at the moment. They are so juicy and there is something about the look of them that just says buy me!!! 2. Za’atar – this is a Middle Eastern spice consisting of thyme, sumac and [...]

Winter is really taking its time getting here and boy am I not complaining!! We have had a few days of wonderful sunshine but it is getting quite chilly at night, perfect for a light soup for dinner. My kids love butternut soup, but as our stocks have dried up we had to substitute pumpkin! It [...]

The words that really caught my eye in the Ottolenghi Cookbook, were “We wanted to start this book with the quip, ‘If you dont like lemon or garlic…..skip to the last page.’”! I just knew then that I would love the rest of the book! The book is a wonderful collection of recipes based on [...]

One of my favourite places here in Rabat is the Rabat Medina. It is a wonderful place to have a stroll about, looking at little odds and ends without the hassle that you get in some of the larger medinas in Morocco. There is one little courtyard that has a trader I have come to [...]

When the ghosts come out….whoooo……when the goblins shriek….eeeeek…… is what my youngest has been singing non-stop for the last two weeks and now seems to be imprinted on my brain!!!! Halloween is here, and we are even celebrating it in Morocco!! When we first arrived here we seldom saw decorations for Western holidays such as [...]

Two things I am a huge fan of are…risotto…and magazines! Well you may be wondering what the two possibly have to do with each other. In Morocco we really battle to get English publications, and as gorgeous as the French and Moroccan publications are, my language skills are still sorely lacking and translating page after [...]

So Meat Free Monday was a huge success in our house yesterday, following on the beetroot gazpacho for lunch we had a lovely vegetable tagine for dinner! Tagines are really easy to throw together and if you don’t have a tagine, just use a saucepan with a tight fitting lid! You could serve this with [...]

One of my favourite recipe books has to be Moro East by Sam and Sam Clark. It combines so many of the flavours I love both from Morocco and Spain in some wonderful recipes. (In fact I love their other two books, The Moro Cookbook and Casa Moro as well!). I saw their recipe for [...]

This is one of those quick and easy dishes, perfect for the middle of the week when the time just seems to be rushing by. You can use any vegetables you have that are suitable for a stir fry! You can also subsitute the pork for chicken or beef. 500g cubed pork, marinated in soya [...]

We took advantage of the absolute glorious weather we are having at the moment to enjoy a wonderful barbeque with friends yesterday! A perfect opportunity to use the last of the butternuts we got in Ceuta! I saw a recipe for fried pumpkin, potatoes and peppers a few weeks back and thought it would convert [...]
