Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

Solange: Chief in the kitchen

Melting pot. Today there are some friends of Nuria . Stuff for school, Palaeolithic time. Constructions of clay. The table is their domaine, human culture the context and the girls are the artists. A Sunday afternoon in Rabat, six nationalities under my roof. The architecture of their house under construction becomes a shared art work: ein Gesammtkunstwerk. Does their cultural background interfere with this project? Must be. I am curious to know what these kids think, whether individual family values are of any influence on the way they cope with each other. These kids are lucky, they learn from each other's family story and cultural life lines without being too conscious about this. An advantage of an international community. And then they all feel hungry. That's when Solange steps in. Chief in the kitchen. Hygienic rules: washing hands and preparing the table where the girls start cooking. It soon turns out to be a second team work project of this sunny Sunday. This is a case about learning through playing. I am impressed. Solange is chief and host and creates a joyful ambiance for sisters and friends in the kitchen. All are participating. Solange guides the process. When the plate with the French chocolate cake glides into the oven, the girls return to the art table in the living room to finish the roof for their house. Chocolate smells all of over the place and warm cake is served by my chief in the kitchen: Solange.

A for allergy and for anarchy.
