Wouldn’t it be wonderful to walk down the street to a communal oven! Especially when it’s hot. I’d love not to have to turn on our oven in the summer….

These are the most fabulous photos! I feel as if I’m there.

Thank you, Susan!

Great commentary and photos. What a interesting adventure, and Jay’s photos are wonderful. They capture much of the essence of daily life in Fez. Thanks for this terrific blog.

Thanks also for all you do with your site to promote good baking.

Regards,

Susan, Jay is an amazing photographer! Loved all the photos in his blog, maybe the most amazing to me was the one of a woman throwing something in the river. What a fantastic place, out of this world!

loved your post, thanks for giving us a snapshot of your great time there!

Hi Susan,
I love your blog – I read it often and bake bread in my home in Portland, Oregon. My father is from Fes, so I grew up with a lot of home cooked Moroccan food. It’s difficult to make Khobz as they do in the big ovens in the Ancienne Medina, but I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful recipe soon. I appreciate your commentary and the photos – reminds me of visits back to my family. Morocco is a beautiful place, I’m happy to see a little bit about on your blog!
Thank you for all of your writing and recipe sharing!
Kindly,
Malika

The medina is not a place I’d want to try and find my way out of, bread crumbs or no.
I do love the idea of meeting at the bakery! Interesting how many cultures have so many community traditions that center on baking.
Now a recipe for Khobz …
