Marley Spoon Meal Kit Review 2026: Less Martha, More Moroccan
This included a Persian turmeric chicken with dill-currant rice that fits seamlessly into Marley Spoon’s repertoire, deglazing with lemon juice instead of wine. The rice was toasted, then cooked with currants and spinach. It was simple, elegant, and kind of a treat. Among the pan-Asian dishes, this was the most successful. Other international meals are less faithful translations. The essence of a Moroccan tagine is the hours it spends braising and caramelizing in a conical clay pot. The challenge for a meal kit is translating this to a 45-minute meal. Marley Spoon’s chefs achieved this on a beef and apricot tagine largely by calling for fast-browning the onions and carrots rather than slowly caramelizing them, and using ground beef in place of a richer cut that would require a slower cook. Video: Matthew Korfhage The flavors, a mix of almond and dried apricot and northern African baharat spice, were delicious. The cook was easy and intuitive, with minimal prep. When the recipe called for 30 to 40 minutes of cooking, it was actually true. But …
773,000-year-old Moroccan cave fossils reveal human and neandertal evolutionary split
A set of ancient human fossils found on Morocco’s Atlantic coast now sits on one of the tightest timelines in African prehistory. The remains come from Thomas Quarry I, and a new analysis pins them to about 773,000 years ago, give or take 4,000 years. That level of precision is rare for fossils this old, and it pulls you closer to a moment near the split that later led to modern humans, Neandertals, and Denisovans. For anyone trying to picture the human family tree, the hardest part often is timing. Fossils can be stunning, but their age can be blurry. Here, the timeline is the headline. A high-resolution magnetic record captured a major flip in Earth’s magnetic field, and the fossils sit right in that transition. ThI-GH site. (CREDIT: Nature) A Long Dig That Finally Paid Off The discoveries build on more than three decades of fieldwork under the Moroccan-French program “Préhistoire de Casablanca.” You can feel the patience behind that kind of effort. The team did long excavations, careful layer-by-layer mapping, and large geological …
Moroccan lamb filo pie and rhubarb panna cotta: Thomasina Miers’ Sunday best recipes | Food
There is little as pleasing to cook in the depths of the winter as a pot of enticingly fragrant, slow-braised meat. A shoulder of lamb is one of my favourite cuts; you, or a friendly butcher, will need to trim away its excess fat, a job that will reward you with an exquisite flavour that marries beautifully with bold spicing. Here, we travel to Morocco, with sweetly aromatic ginger, turmeric and cinnamon, and follow that with cardamom, cream and rhubarb for pudding. A sumptuous, colourful feast to stave off any February blues. Moroccan lamb filo pie with honeyed carrots and almonds (pictured top) Many elements of this dish, with its falling apart, richly seasoned lamb and carrots encased in crisp, golden pastry, can be made the day before. The flavours will be much improved for it, too. Prep 15 minCook 3 hrServes 6-8 1 large boned shoulder of lamb, trimmed of excess fatSalt and pepper60g butter, or oil2 large onions, peeled and finely chopped1 scant tsp ground ginger1 scant tsp cinnamon1 scant tsp turmeric2 large …
A language course is reviving Moroccan Jewish culture and bridging Middle East divides
(RNS) — Growing up in Fez, Morocco, Yona Elfassi was always aware of the history of the city, which has been a center of culture, learning and spirituality since the ninth century. Home to great minds such as the 12th-century philosopher and jurist Ibn Rushd and his contemporary, the physician and codifier of Jewish law Maimonides, the city was shaped by Jewish, Arab, Amazigh, Spanish and French cultures. These influences left a deep imprint on Elfassi, 37. “In my family there were (many) different languages — Moroccan Arabic, French, Hebrew at the synagogue, and my dad also speaks Amazigh, Berber,” said Elfassi. Music, too, was a constant presence — from Andalusian to Flamenco, to Moroccan classic, to Moroccan chaabi popular, to Berber music,” he said. “We weren’t a family of professional musicians, but we were a family that lived with music.” As a Jewish resident of Morocco, Elfassi belongs to a tiny demographic, as 99% of Jews of Moroccan heritage today live elsewhere. After major emigrations in the 20th century, only around 2,500 Jews remain …
Moroccan King Mohammed VI’s quiet absence from AFCON
The portrait of Morocco’s King Mohammed VI displayed during the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final match between Cameroon and Morocco in Rabat, January 9, 2026. MOSA’AB ELSHAMY / AP His absence has been particularly noticeable. Since the start of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which kicked off on December 21, 2025, for four weeks in Morocco, King Mohammed VI has not made any appearances at any of the six stadiums hosting the competition. During the tournament’s opening ceremony, the host country’s monarch did not kick off the 35th edition of AFCON. Rather, his eldest son, Moulay Al-Hassan, greeted the crowd with raised arms from the center circle of the main stadium in Rabat. At every pivotal moment in the Atlas Lions’ journey, it was the 22-year-old crown prince who once again took his place in the VIP box. He will likely do so again on Wednesday, January 14, for the match between Morocco and Nigeria, which will send one of the two teams to the final. “Mohammed VI is certainly not one to seek …

NSS calls on Moroccan ambassador to free ‘blasphemy’ prisoner
The National Secular Society has urged the ambassador of Morocco to push for the release of a campaigner in pre-trial detention for ‘offending Islam’. The NSS has written to Hakim Hajoui expressing ‘extreme concern’ over the arrest of Moroccan human rights activist Ibitssam ‘Betty’ Lachgar. Lachgar was arrested earlier this month after she posted a photo of herself on social media wearing a t-shirt with the slogan “Allah is lesbian”. The public prosecutor at the Rabat Court of First Instance said an investigation into Lachgar had been opened following the publication of the photo containing “offensive expressions towards God” and text “containing an offense to the Islamic religion”. The NSS has also called on the ambassador to work to “repeal Morocco’s laws which restrict speech about Islam”. Article 267(5) of the Moroccan Criminal Code criminalises anyone “who offends the Islamic religion”. The maximum penalty for causing public “outrage” by criticising Islam is five years and/or a fine. Betty Lachgar is a well-known Moroccan advocate for the rights of women and LGBT people. She posted the …
