dar ahlam - morocco

My perfect weekend escape... here's to dreaming of the 'house of dreams' which I spotted ages ago on Garance Dore's blog.  Hers is the beautiful picture above. It will take your breath away. http://www.mrandmrssmith.com/us/luxury-hotels/dar-ahlam?utm_source=PARTNERSHIP&utm_medium=media&utm_campaign=nasa_061211_garancedore_darahlam%2B
In ode to all things exotic a recipe for pistachio and cardamom brownies... http://www.quickindiancooking.com/2008/06/09/divine-pistachio-cardamom-brownies/...and now I'm craving a turkish coffee thick and bitter laden with cardamom and a waft of warm jasmine air about my face. Oh and maybe a mint raspberry shisha! My dad also recommended this pistachio nougat that Rachel Allen has been whipping up lately. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/nougat_93479

Hold on to your dreams. Build bridges not walls!
