Add a little Zest to your Meals with Moroccan Spices

Moroccan cuisine is extremely refined, thanks to Morocco’s interactions and exchanges with other cultures and nations over the centuries. Moroccan cuisine has been subject to Berber, Moorish, and Arab influences. The cooks in the royal kitchens of Meknes, Fez, Marrakech and Tetouan refined it over the centuries and created the basis for what is known as Moroccan cuisine today.

Spices are used extensively in Moroccan food. Although spices have been imported to Morocco for thousands of years, many ingredients — like saffron from Tiliouine, mint and olives from Meknes, and oranges and lemons from Fez — are home-grown. Common spices include karfa (cinnamon), kamoun (cumin), kharkoum (turmeric), skinjbir (ginger), libzar (pepper), tahmira (paprika), anise seed, sesame seedsqesbour (coriander), and zaafran beldi (saffron). Common herbs include mint and maadnous(parsley).

The color of the spices makes you want to buy some – have fun cooking.

What’s your take on the Industrial Design Style….

fourhands10…I adore it. What I like most about this design style is its true form and presentation. What you see is what you get – a celebration of construction and detail. Industrial elements are not to be covered up but rather showcased. Exposed materials, natural finishes, repurpose of materials, neutral colors (I’ll throw some color into the mix)….
FourHands Coffee TableRemember the coffee table I style-spotted at High Point, which was featured in the Four Hands showroom – It was one of my favorite pieces. Minel and I went back to the Four Hands a second time just to explore the rest of the showroom – there was so much to see including these stunning light fixtures. I can see any of these light fixtures is a residential or commercial setting. And we all know a great space needs a great light fixture…..And each of these are interesting in its own form.

Love it or leave it behind……tell me your thoughts on the Industrial design style.
