Every summer we head to the pretty seaside town of Nerja, about 50kms East of Malaga. Its beaches have always been renowned, first among fishermen, then among the early tourists who started arriving in the 1960s. Although the city beaches now get packed in the summer, if you drive just [...]
While we were living it up on the beach this summer our trusty weavers’ creative juices were flowing. On our last supply run they presented us with several new samples including a genius range of linen throws. This fine linen comes from France, but like all Anajam Home accessories, they are hand woven here in [...]
Café Mor is not, as you might suspect a café at all. It’s a food truck on the edge of one of the most rugged and wild beaches in Pembrokeshire: Freshwater West where the dunes seem to scurry down to a wide, gold sand beach book-ended by craggy cliffs and, happily for the kids, abundant [...]
In honour of last weeks brilliant Trade + Impact show in Ifrane we're delighted to share our kefta recipe from the Courtyard Kitchen at our show home in the Fez medina. In Morocco traditional recipes are often infused with magic spells. This kefta recipe comes generously seasoned with love. Ras al Hanout is an aromatic [...]
There’s nothing more British than a garden fete and that’s exactly what you get at this delightful, summer family festival in Cornwall. Expect a postcard perfect setting of rolling green hills, silvery lakes and trees rustling in the breeze creating a Hardy-esque backdrop to the motherland’s answer to Woodstock. Folks amble about with feathers and flowers [...]
We created this light tagine at our Courtyard Kitchen inspired by the colours and flavours of a summer in Morocco. Floral saffron & sweet turmeric countered by warmth of ginger makes a perfect match to the delicate meat. The chicken can easily be replaced with rabbit if you can get it. [...]
Winter walks on the wild beaches of Aberdovey are our favourite way to blow out the cobwebs. The pretty coastal town with its pastel-coloured houses lining the front usually shuts down for winter, but the sandy beach stretches for miles from Aberdovey to Tywyn and at this time of year you pretty much get [...]
We’d never admit it, but we are creatures of habit when it comes to hotels. In the Marrakech medina our second home is El Fenn, not just because they’re great friends of ours, but because it lives and breathes the kind of vibe that gets under your skin. Where else to do you get [...]
The first collection we did together with Rachid were these hand-made 2 litre, chunky ceramic pitchers with mismatched beakers (available in sets of 6). Using a combination of traditional Fez designs we were thrilled to see they worked brilliantly in a more contemporary context. The thick ceramic helps to keep drinks cool, so we’re [...]
Rachid’s family have been making traditional Fez style pottery for three generations. They were the first factory to open in the area when the industry moved from the medina 13 years ago. The soft, dove-grey clay is sourced from rivers near Sidi Harazem (about 7km from Fez). It arrives in big blocks and [...]
