I served this Couscous and Chickpea dish with the Moroccan Feast for my Son’s Birthday. I used a recipe from the cookbook Honey & Co, Food From the Middle East. This is a lovely cookbook and I have used it a lot, as I love the flavours of food from this region. I increased the […]
When we were in Marrakech over Easter we went to a cooking class where we learnt to make this Tagine. It was really delicious, so I decided to make it for the birthday celebration for 14 people. I made it in the morning, let it sit to incorporate all the flavours and then heated it […]
