I bought cook books in Morocco
Among many things that traveling has done to me is that it has tremendously improved my cooking skill. Not up to professional skill but it definitely brings my amateur cooking to more variation and enthusiasm. Traveling has inspired me to try new gadget, authentic spices and a different styles of cooking.

Cooked meatballs in my new tagine
|
With Morocco, I'm so impressed with the cool conical pot, tagine and I end up getting a tagine for myself. The unique slow cooking style allows the pieces of meat to tenderize perfectly. Moroccans use lots of cumin in their food and even the fresh cut oranges are drizzled with dash of cumin. The lovely cous-cous which come with vegetable or meat is always my choice whenever I visited any Moroccan restaurant.
Sipping mint tea and nibbling several tea biscuits are just marvelous activities which I find enjoyable in the late afternoon. But to spend time learning the culinary of the countries we are visiting takes time and not when we're rushing to cover many places. I am hoping to combine both traveling and cooking in my retirement years. These years of traveling have always been a hectic one mostly due to my tight working schedule that has not enable me to take longer vacation. I have been trying to do so many things when I travel and squeeze my itinerary to fit my short break. I'm looking forward a more relaxing journey in few more years to come.
I just realize that I've not been writing on my blog for a long time. So bogged down with work, i think it's about time to update this blog and this is my second article for this year :). Thank you my dearest readers who have faithfully visited this blog and I'm looking forward to continue writing on my journeys again. |
