“انا والطبخ عشق لا ينتهي”

Cooking and me,

an endless passion

One of my favorite cuisines is Middle Eastern food. I did my bachelors in Arabic language and had the privillege to travel to Egypt and Morocco. Officially I was there to study Arabic, but my true goal in traveling was to to eat allllll the food! I stayed with a family while I was in Morocco and my host mom was so happy that I wanted to help cook and learn from her.

I’ll be sharing a few of the moroccan staples my host mom taught me. Also, I’ll be translating some of my favorite Arabic recipes that I’ve found online and feel that the English-speaking world should know about!

In this blog I hope to provide fun and flavor filled dishes. Some are quick and simple, others are more labor intensive, but all of them are worth the time! I hope I can encourage you to try some of the more involved dishes. They were intimidating to me too before I tried them. But hopefully I can break down the steps to the point that they look doable. My biggest advice is to set aside a chunk of time to cook so you can take your time and really enjoy it.

Happy cooking! 🙂
