Morocco Bound.......

......Well…. I’d like to be and here’s the perfect way of doing it…a foodie’s foray into the seething souqs and the ancient alley ways of fascinating cities like Casablanca, Rabat, Fez and Marrakesh among others, with Christchurch-based Moroccan chef, Simo Abbari, owner of the very delicious Simo’s Moroccan Restaurant in Cashel Mall, where I dined (with great satisfaction) a few nights ago. Once again, it’s the coming together of all good things – food, travel, photography, people – a feast for the senses and the stomach. Simo of course, knows his own country like the back of his hand and his 14-day tour, complete with cooking demonstrations, visits to local markets and picnics in the countryside, leaves Christchurch on July 7th. I think I might have to sell off the family silver for this one. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a meal to remember, head straight for Simo’s Restaurant. www.simos.co.nz www.beatson.co.nz
