Comfort Food…..

Happy New Year everyone!! May it be a wonderful year for all of you and your families! Well back to school, back to life and back to normality for us here in Morocco. It was a very short break for us but we did manage to do a day trip or two and a quick [...]

Happy New Year…..

Wow, I cannot believe it is the last day of 2009!  My heartfelt thanks for taking the time to read my blog and to comment, I look forward to seeing you again next year!   I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a wonderful, healthy and prosperous 2010!  Sana saʿida from [...]

Merry Christmas……

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 [...]

Souks and Sardines….

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…..  I took a trip down to the Rabat Medina [...]

Chicken and Fennel Tagine…..

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 [...]

Horses and Hospitality…..

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 [...]

Melons…..

Summer in Morocco is melon time!! I love the sight of the giant mounds of green and yellow melons everywhere. This year the sellers seem a bit more organised and have set up little stalls in our local town. This is far better than being parked along the highway in their pick ups! Now, I [...]

The end of our Mozambican trip…..

Well after a wonderful 8 days in Mozambique, our time sadly had come to an end and we headed back to South Africa. As I said before I would highly recommend a trip there, the beaches are fantastic and the people are generally unbelievably friendly!!! I hope you enjoyed the journey with me! 

Mozambique Part 2 – Pão – Portuguese Bread…..

For our time in Mozambique we stayed in a small place on the beach about an hour north of Xai-Xai. The beach was about 40 minutes from the main road and the small town of Chissibuca. One of the reasons to head back to the main road, across a rather watery bridge and some seriously [...]

Back home…

Hi there everyone! Well finally we are back home, after a wonderful few weeks in South Africa and Mozambique with family and friends. After a month of winter weather, freezing in Natal with snow on the Berg and somewhat warmer in Mpumalanga and Mozambique it was quite alarming to arrive in Casablanca to a whopping [...]
