Morocco? What is Life123’s thing with Morocco? Rick has already blogged about transforming your boudoir into a “fantasy of colonial mastery and forbidden pleasure.”
I am all for exotic sleeping quarters, but I’m a little lazier and more interested in the food, anyway. Life123 has tips for a Moroccan Fantasy Party, including ideas for a yummy drink featuring guava nectar. As for the food, plan on serving a couscous or lamb dish as the main course. Seasonings often include saffron and paprika, but you will really impress your guests by preparing anything with ras el hanout, which appears to be quite the culinary trend. Ras el hanout is a spice blend, and everyone has a different version, but you can find one at chow.com.
For your party, keep in mind that the dishes will be spicy, so serve plenty of cool beverages, and plan your gathering for warm weather, when you can throw open the windows and imagine you are traveling to another continent.
