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 [...]

Collecting parcels here in Rabat is always a challenging affair! Generally any packages larger than about 2-3 books ends up in the central post office to be checked by customs. Now this: a) involves driving to the centre of town in the traffic from hell and finding parking which is just like finding the proverbial [...]

Wow, not sure what happened to this week but suddenly Friday is looming and all I seemed to have done is sit in Rabat traffic for the last 4 days! I also can quite simply not believe it is already October! Hopefully next week will be more productive! This is a quick and easy starter [...]

Meat Free Mondays…….. There is definitely something very comforting about butternut soup. With autumn in full swing here and a definite nip in the air at night this is a perfect light meal. If you don’t have kids (or your kids don’t mind chilli) add a few slices of red chilli when you add the [...]

Saturday was a strange day, not starting quite as we had planned but turned into one of those days that will be etched into our memories forever! Our local village was hosting their annual fantasia festival this Saturday. It was off to a rocky start with a morning of thunder showers, but nothing was going [...]

On the Northern tip of Morocco, just east of Tangier, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, there is a little piece of Spain called Ceuta, in fact further along the coast there is another one as well known as Melilla. The closest for us is Ceuta or Sebta as it is sometimes known in Morocco. [...]

I am sure that as it is for me, there are millions of other moms out there for whom the daily task of packing lunchboxes is a never ending battle to come up with different ideas that will keep kids well nourished and interested in their lunch!!! We don’t really get a wide variety of [...]

This morning I had to take our daughter to the paediatrician which is conveniently situated right next to one of Rabats most well known landmarks. As we had some time to pass before our appointment we had a wander around the grounds of the Tour de Hassan before it got packed with people. The two main structures [...]

Some of the flavours that just taste of Morocco to me have to be the combination of lemon, olives, fresh coriander and flat leaf parsley! All produce that is found in abundance here and form part of so many Moroccan dishes. I am sure I have mentioned this before, but one of my favourite Moroccan [...]

Earlier today I was eyeing out the artichoke tapenade over on David Lebovitz’s wonderful site and decided it was definitely too long since I had made this delicious dish! We are very fortunate in Morocco to get a wonderful supply of relatively inexpensive olives. So the perfect oppurtunity to use them! Tapenade is French in origin and [...]
