If you've ever been in Morocco you had to know the tajine. It's a kind of casserole-like food, and the dish in which the food you could cook. I wanted to buy there - in Marrakesh - the dish but so I had to carry that for a week more to bring it home with me later. So unfortunately I couldn't buy the tajine, but acquired a morroccan cookbook with tajine-recipes.
At home I tried to make tajine (the food) without a tajine (the dish). I had to use a large earthenware pot but I succeeded. The meal was very good, but not so good as in Morrocco. But later I cooked it regularly and I found the food was getting better. I think now that is why I forgot the original taste of the food. But if you want a slice of Morocco sometimes you can make tajine with your own pots and materials. The essence is the memory of the real tajine, the real Marrakesh, the real Morocco.

Tomorrow I'll share my favourite tajine-recipe if you interested in it.
