Thanks for sharing your pictures, Susan. I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Morocco, my ancestors’ homeland. The scenery is always beautiful and the food is always amazing. I could go for a quick snack right now made from freshly baked bread, homemade goat cheese, and some mint tea. I have a trip over there later this year. Can’t wait

Thank you sharing these beautiful pics. Never been to Morocco, but after seeing the pics, I guess I am going to have to add it to my list of places to visit ( in the near future).

Best,
Sihi

Thanks everyone!

Elizabeth, yes, in the second crepe photo you can see the notched opening. That’s where she has the fire.

Sydnee, this post has some photos of the earth bread ovens in a Berber mountain village: http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2011/11/24/morocco-mountain-berber-village/

What great pictures, Susan! We’re reading Paula Wolfert’s book “The Food of Morocco” right now and this is exactly the right echo for her wonderful book.

I can’t get over how thin those crepes are! Did you get the sense that the griddle the woman is using was hollow?

B-e-a-u-tiful photos Susan! It’s amazing how similar all cultures are when it comes to bread. I hope to see some pictures of bread ovens…
