  Tagine, Argan Oil and 35spices
by suvanki
 
 

Moroccan, is now one of my favourite cuisines, with it's tasty tagines, cous cous, etc.
Whenever I travel, I usually try to buy spices, a recipe book or other food related objects.

On this trip I bought a teracotta tagine (see my off the beaten tracks tips for more details) I'm afraid I haven't used this yet, it's more of an ornament at the moment, but I have cooked a few tagines using my old faithful cast iron casserole dish.

Argan oil (the new olive oil!!) Afraid I only bought a small bottle, for moisturising purposes from Essaouira- but I spent the exorbitant sum of £9 in Sainsburys for a bottle of organic Argan Oil for culinary purposes-
Top Tip- If You're visiting Essaouira, snap up a bottle or 2- or a crate load of Argan Oil, to sell to foodies back home for a fraction of the price of Sainsburys!! (See my Essaouira page for lots more info on Argan Oil
35 spices- a versatile spice mix, used in many Moroccan dishes, I've used most of mine already, in lots of non Moroccan dishes too.


What to buy: All manner of foodie stuff

Cooking pots
Tagine cooking pots
Tea glasses and tea pots

What to pay: From very little to as much as you want!
