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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I have mentioned the Moroccan spice Ras el-hanout before. I recently found this link which has a good recipe for a combination of some of the spices if you can’t find the real thing! Of course the version straight from the spice souk in the Medina just tastes far better! I used some in this [...]

Shopping in rural Mozambique generally means going down to the local market and selecting the best of what’s on offer. Usually chickens and a range of fresh vegetables are available in most places. One of the dishes that is synonymous with Mozambique for me has to be Piri-Piri Chicken or Frango Piri-Piri as it is [...]

One of the best things about summer here and in Europe is the late summer nights you can enjoy! In Spain the sun was only going down at ten at night and here in Morocco we are an hour behind, so it generally goes down at about nine at the moment. Lots of time to [...]

Our house is a crazy mess at the moment. We are furiously packing, and as those of you with kids will know that the prospect of packing for three of them to go on holiday is quite challenging!! Especially when you have a soon to be 4 year old ripping all the packed items out [...]

I have always loved “little bites”. In fact I think I could have an entire meal simply made out of little bits of perfectly cooked (or not) food with simple, good quality ingredients. So needless to say I was delighted when I received a copy of the book, amuse-bouche, by Rick Tramonto for my birthday. [...]
