What could possibly taste better than mac and cheese?
Like pretty much everyone I loooove mac and cheese and almost every time I make some I try to spice up my classic recipe by adding vegetables, proteins and/or spices.
My love affair with mac and cheese started a few years ago in Camden town. Camden town is a very cool place in London with lots of food stalls, vintage treasures and many unique other things.
Read MoreThe coming weeks call for celebrations and this dish is kind of the Moroccan emblem for festivities! So because of that, you have to make it very soon, whether you use chicken or turkey, it doesn’t really matter.
Read MoreI barely had squid this summer, maybe once or twice. So I felt like making something fancy with it but also:
• easy
• tasty
• and healthy *
If you like squid and are interested in all the above this recipe is definitely for you!
Read MoreToday I am sharing my favourite combination of Moroccan grilled foods: beef kebab and grilled tomato and green pepper salad, also known in Morocco as chlada mechouia. And if you don’t have a barbecue, it doesn’t mean you can’t have grilled food. You can just do like me and use a chargrilled pan, because we love grilled foods.
These beef kebab recipe is very simple and easy to prepare, the longer you will let the meat marinate, the softer and tastier the meat will get. The onions are mainly present in this recipe so the meat can absorb their taste. It’s one of those recipes that requires just a few ingredients but still comes out packed with flavour.
Read MoreSpring rolls because I had to expand my summer food edition, although there is no more sun in London, well it’s there but it’s kind of playing hide and seek… I am sure you see what I mean. It will come back… Hopefully.
I love spring rolls, I usually prefer the fresh ones (wrapped in moistened rice paper) as opposed to the cooked/fried for several reasons.
Read MoreMsemen, also known as rghaeif is a squared flatbread usually eaten in Morocco for breakfast and teatime. You can have them plain or stuffed, sweet or savoury, their texture is very soft and very different to the Middle Eastern flat bread. It’s richer, but also fluffier and super comforting.

Harira is a velvety and chunky Moroccan soup made usually with tomatoes, herbs, pulses and meat, but like all the classics of Moroccan cuisine, every region and every family have their own version of harira. Some regions add fish or vermicelli while others add carrots and rice.
Finally a fish recipe on the blog and what a tasty one!
I love this tagine, it’s so fragrant, lemony, vibrant, healthy and super easy to prepare. Get your veggies and your fish, take 3 minutes to make chermoula and let it do the job for you.
Really, chermoula works like a flavour bomb! It is a type of paste or marinade that is very common in North Africa and goes very well with fish, meat, poultry and vegetables. Pretty much with everything savoury.
Today I am sharing a slightly ‘jazzed up’ version of the classic Moroccan fish tagine.
Read MoreHave you ever tried a tagine that was fragrant, spicy, smoky and fruity at the same time? Well, if you haven't, take a look at this recipe because this tagine will seriously tingle your senses!
Read MoreCouscous is originally a Berber dish and for this reason couscous is served nowadays in all North African countries. In Morocco, we have different types and versions of couscous but if you mention “couscous” in Morocco, people will usually assume that you are referring to the most basic version of the famous dish: the 7 vegetables couscous.
Read MoreIt’s simply one of my favourite. Really and not just because I am posting it today.
A while ago, when I was still a student, every time I would go back home to visit my parents my mum would welcome me with this tagine. I couldn’t possibly leave my home country without having had had this tagine at least once.
Read MoreShakshuka is a very common dish in North Africa and Middle East and is originally from a country that has had a persistent passion for eggs and tomatoes. Tunisia.
The Moroccan version of the shakshuka includes kefta meatballs and in Morocco we don’t call it shakshuka but simply "kefta and eggs tagine", but isn’t shakshuka just too cute?
Read MoreI am pretty sure you all know about the Middle Eastern kefta or kofta and you probably love it. Well, at least I do. But you have to try the Moroccan version, because yes, they taste different.
In Morocco, kefta is like an institution, every single family knows where to buy and eat the best kefta and whole families usually go over and over to the same spot to find it.
