Although I’m Moroccan & currently residing with my family in Turkey, I feel blessed to have been born and brought up in UK with a variety of multicultural foods.

Morocco is known for its Mediterranean produce and shares a wonderful cocktail of Arabic, French and Spanish recipes, but I was fortunate enough to not be restricted to this, as both my parents worked in English catering when they first moved to the UK in the 60’s. So, I love a traditional cottage pie and Sunday roast just as much as I do a Tagine 😉

I later married an Uzbek and our love for food is just as strong as our love for each other and we spiced up our relationship with traditional recipes that developed into a blend of Eastern & Central Asian influence, this eventually led to the destined merge of tastes. Our children later took the privilege of naming this happy marriage of cultural tastes MORBEK (half Moroccan and half Uzbek).
