The aromatic and subtle flavours of cooking from Morocco...

Inspired by the romantic Moroccan cities of Marrakech and Casablanca, this Valentine’s meal takes your taste buds on a tour of the colourful cuisine of Morocco. The flavours there are a fine balance of sweetness and fragrant spices - including allspice, cassia and cardamon - which produces a refined cuisine that’s famous the world over. To begin we’ve got vegetable pastries known as briouats served with a spicy rose petal harissa.

Next chermoula grilled lamb chops with saffron couscous and a spring vegetable tagine. Finally, to refresh the palate an orange salad topped with rose petals and some filo and almond biscuits on the side.

Another great date night, reminded us of trips to Morocco. Tagine is especially fragrant and syrup over the desert was delicious.

What a gorgeous spread of food, great job! We're so glad to hear this meal transported you back to Morocco, even if just for the evening!

5/5

We finally got to have our Valentine’s dinner as the arrival of our daughter delayed everything in the final few months :). I was really happy with this box, I didn’t fancy the dessert but it turned out to be delicious. I also got some great ideas for vegetarian options from the starter and the tagine!

This all looks delicious, Laura - great job! We're so happy you finally got round to having your Valentine's dinner, and congratulations on the arrival of your little girl!
