I have longed to go to Essaouira since we arrived in Morocco almost two years ago. So as you may know we finally got to go down that way on New Year’s Day. Well, it was everything people said it was and more! What a gorgeous place, not even the debris on the beach from [...]

There has been an unlikely combination of events and food in our life over the last week, things that shouldn’t rightly be together but just happened to be….snow and strawberries… Morocco seems to have joined the rest of the Northern Hemisphere in the big chill and this last weekend we had a great time [...]

Once again my good intentions of baking beautiful things, cooking and photographing and of course blogging all whilst looking as cool and collected as Nigella have fallen by the wayside, and instead there seems to be the usual chaotic rush preparing for Christmas, wrapping presents and getting everything else organised for our Christmas Eve dinner [...]

I have really been neglecting this blog of mine over the last few weeks. It just seems a combination of sick children; cold weather and life in general have been getting in the way of all my good intentions of cooking and blogging! Enough excuses though…..

Persimmon and Walnut Bread……
Admin on Nov 27 2009 | Filed under: Food, Food, Photographs, Sweet
Persimmons have been available for the last few weeks here in Morocco and of course when I saw them I had to buy some. I then left them languishing about until they were well and truly ripened (read, left them in the fruit basket and forgot about them!!!). You can read more about the different [...]
