5 Reasons To Ditch Your Pots & Pans for a Tagine




The tagine is a unique piece of cooking equipment that no kitchen should be without. In fact, it’s so incredibly useful that you can create a variety of different meals without having to touch any other pot or pan in your kitchen. With vessels used for both cooking and serving, tagines offer a unique yet traditional way to cook any meal. Here are several reasons why we think you should ditch your pots and pans and purchase an exotic Moroccan tagine.


1. Tagine dishes are easy to throw together. They often include readily available ingredients that can all be tossed into one cooking vessel. You don’t have to worry about cleaning more than one dish and you can enjoy a flavorful meal that fits your taste.


2. A majority of tagine dishes incorporate olive oil, a healthy option that offers a variety of health benefits. Tagine dishes are not fried and use minimal oils and fats for a healthier dinner option.


3. Meals cooked in a tagine offer a unique earthy flavor that doesn’t hold true for meals cooked in a regular pot or pan. Its rich aroma brings a freshness to the dish, which offers an exotic take on your meals.


4. You can serve your meal in the same dish in which it’s cooked. If you prefer, there are many beautiful tagines that are created specifically for the purpose of serving rather than cooking.


5. Tagine dishes and their recipes have a history dating back centuries, which offers a traditional and cultural richness that is difficult to find in many dishes. It encompasses the Moroccan culture in both the dish and the method of cooking.

Tagines are a simple and functional piece that can be used to create your next exotic Moroccan meal. Make this piece of earthen cookware an integral part of your kitchen by purchasing a cooking or serving tagine at 655 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701, or by ordering online.

My best trip to Merzouga Morocco



  During my summer vacation in Morocco, we went to Merzouga in the far east of Morocco not too far from the Algerian border. We could not travel in car since it was too far, we took the tour bus during the night through the city Rissani and Rachidia. We made arrangement to spend the night in the dessert . We made it to the rolling dunes by sunset and were on our camels, it was a very exiting ride. all through the trip i kept asking our young guide if he knew the way to the tent camp , i kept thinking about getting lost in the desert without food plus it was getting late.  ounce we get there in the dark,  I was very reveled .

  Sitting out side under the stars, we were served a tagine with home made bread and mint tea. Since it was hot we decided to sleep outside with no fear. oh yeah all those crawling insect and wild creator. We woke up earlier than the sun , so we can catch a sunrise on our way back in a perfect spot in the middle of Sahara.
The night was one of the best vacation days in my life.
