Easy and tasty recipes for the whole family to enjoy
Soups are such a huge part of my winter diet. There’s something about them that I find so comforting, especially on a cold winter night. One of my favorite vegetables to cook in a soup is winter squash, its sugary taste intensified when simmered with …
I’ve been very into carrots this winter, cooking them in stir-fries and soups and grating them raw to serve as a salad with a citrus vinaigrette. One of my favorite Moroccan salads is a simple cooked carrot salad, one that seems to be so complex …
If there’s one thing all Jewish families have in common no matter their origin, it’s our love for food. We always tend to overcook and have leftovers for days, which is not a bad thing, since we end up having lots of meals in the freezer for the nights we are too lazy to cook. Ever since I got married in 2014, I follow my husband’s Moroccan traditions when it comes to Shabat and holiday meals at home. Moroccan Jews tend to serve lots of salads at the beginning of a meal, followed by fish and then the main course.

It’s been an incredible ride since my very first post, and I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned and especially for all of my readers and their support as I build Savormania! With the new year comes a new desire to try new ingredients. One I’ve always wanted to cook with is orange or purple cauliflower, but could never find it anywhere. The first time I saw this colorful variety was on a cooking TV show — probably Master Chef or Top Chef — with the chefs using it to brightly decorate some of their dishes. I was instantly intrigued, wondering if the taste was just as different as the color. Colored cauliflower started popping all over supermarkets in Geneva a couple of weeks ago, and having promised myself that I would try them some day, I couldn’t resist buying a beautiful orange cauliflower head to cook that night.
Sweet potatoes used to be on my I-don’t-like list of foods — those that I’d never ever dream of eating again. I decided to try them again when I started running in May as they’re on every superfood list. I have to admit that I still …
I haven’t given much love to eggplants on the blog yet, as it only contains one single recipe within its pages. I’ve recently developed a new passion for this gorgeous purple vegetable and have included it in my dishes in so many ways, ranging from salads …
