Edge of Seattle Cooking

 

The Marrakech Express has arrived, so plan on meeting me at the Kasbah, our Moroccan

Kasbah cooking class that is.  The August 22nd class will be a hands-on Moroccan cuisine 

taught by guest Chef Majid Sbai, co-owner of the Kasbah Moroccan Restaurant in Ballard.  I not only lived in France but I also lived in Casablanca, Morocco for eight years....the same

royal city that Chef Sbai hails from.  My mouth is already watering in anticipation of the

delicious cuisine.  Join me in our French Country Inn cuisine and we'll raise up your glasses together to toast the Chef and your excellence.

The cuisine of Morocco is rated among the best in

the world, and rightly so. There are few places

where food is more carefully and artistically prepared, more delightfully served, and more enjoyed than in this

country. Moroccan cooking is characterized by rich spices on the cook's shelf, and in her mortar. The

scents of coriander, cinnamon, cumin, saffron,

marjoram, and onion mingle with the pungency of

olive oil and the sweetness of mint, roses and

orange blossom, delighting the senses.

The Marrakech Express is here!

Can rosé earn your respect?
 
"I can't get no respect." -Rodney Dangerfield
 
You might say rosé is the Rodney Dangerfield of wines, it "can't get no

respect". Rosé is often scoffed at because of its dubious past: people

were known to mix red wine with some white wine and called it rosé.

After World War II, there was a high demand for medium-sweet rosés

for mass consumption, and later, American "blush" wines of the 1970's were all the rage.
 
Today's rosé wines resemble none of those past "pinks". The vast majority of modern rosés

are crisp, dry and delicious, and often made from your favorite varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot, just to name a few. The French are particularly proud of their rosé wines,

and rosé now outsells white wine in France!
 
Rosé is extremely versatile when it comes to pairing it with food, and is the perfect wine

for grilled shrimp, pork tenderloin, or chicken with peanut sauce. Come taste one of the most refreshing wines of the summer. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!  Ann Brooks
