Cooking With Cecile



We spent the afternoon yesterday in Cecile's kitchen. It's a remarkable place. Quite big for Paris and very welcoming and charming. Not at all like a kitchen in the US. The floor is old tile, everything is functional. The spices are all within reach, everything works perfectly even though it's not new. No granite here, just great cooking.

There is a big table in the middle of the room, good for eating or, in our case, for assembling b'stilla. Cecile teaches us Moroccan and french cooking.

Everyone that participates enjoys the activities. We all know how to cook and really just come to see the new preparation and enjoy a lovely October afternoon in a warm kitchen.



Here's the work in progress. It took over three hours to make this dish and Cecile was already cooking when we arrived.



Here is the finished product. We all had a wonderful dinner last night.
