FROM TAJINE TO OATS (VAN TAJINE TOT HAVERMOUT)

A Marrakesh smoothie, couscous made from cauliflower and the traditional Moroccan b'stilla made from cabbage. For her first cookbook, health coach & lifestyle blogger Jamilia Winwood drew inspiration from her childhood memories of Morocco.

As a young girl, Jamila spent all her summer vacations visiting her grandparents, in a small village in the northern part of Morocco. "My dad grew up as a true Berber farmer. I was proud and curious to learn how he and my grandfather harvested the olives and almonds, how they churned the goat milk to make butter out of it and how my mother and grandmother made the most wonderful dishes from these ingredients."

It were these summers that made Jamila so passionate about pure and fresh ingredients. When she first got the idea for this book she decided to travel back to Morocco to get inspired for healthy dishes: "The northern part of the medina, the historical town centre, consists of many markets (souks). Together, they form the biggest covered market of Africa. I love getting lost here for hours and hours, just to see where it brings you. Especially the souk on the famous Djemaa el-Fna square is amazing. Here, you find a colourful mix of all sorts of vegetables and fruits and you are surrounded by the wonderful aromas of fresh herbs and spices."

This journey and Jamila's memories of her summer vacations in Morocco resulted in a beautiful collection of healthy recipes with a Moroccan touch.

Van Tajine tot Havermout has been published in June 2016. The book is sold in several Dutch bookstores and in the ROSE stories webshop. Please note that this edition will be only available in Dutch. When successful, we will start launching an English version too.
