  • About

Window in a little backstreet bread shop in the medina of Essaouira on the Atlantic coast of Morocco.

Bread is the mainstay of all meals in Morocco, with an almost religious significance. ‘Give me bread in the name of Allah’ is a cry heard from door to door in the medina. And if a Moroccan sees a crust of bread in his path, he will stop and carefully set it aside where it will not be trodden upon.

In my house, each flat round crisp-crusted loaf is blessed in the name of the Almighty before it is cut into the traditional wedges for each meal. And my cook Bacha brings it to the table herself and serves it personally to each guest so that, as she says, there will only be happiness in the house.
