  5. Hi, I love your cooking :-)…I wanna know if I can just buy a ready grilled almonds?  Im not so good in frying things :D..no time to fry  as well haha. Thank you 🙂

  6. The recipe looks interesting for a European.  It looks rather complicated to make to me, well lots of steps.  I know and make such foods myself, but I wonder how the combination of sweet and salty is also.  Looks very good, but defin. an acquired taste.  In my East. Europe. cuisine we don't mix sweet with salty.  I'd like to try to make it one time.

  7. Looks great, thank you. My other half don't eat chicken. Can I make it with red meat, if yes..should I use same spices? 

  8. I'm having a hard time getting the vermicelli to cook all the way. After the 5th steaming I just served it al dente. Any recommendations?

  10. I finally know the name and method of this dish, happy. I came to Morocco for the first time to eat in Rabat, and I never forget it.

  11. تبارك الله عليك 👏🇲🇦👆👆🇲🇦👆💚☝️ انتي رائعه في التقديم.

  12. Wow, that recipe looks wonderful. I tried this once when I went to Rabat but my host mother made a very simple version without almonds or dates or meat. Thanks

  13. Vermicelli here is Angel Hair Durum Wheat Pasta.
    It has to be incredibly fine. Not your usual vermicelli labelled pasta.
