Dear ChezMyrtille, your chicken sweet caress from the Sahara sounds and looks so good. I especially love the name. I have gone through many of your posts and am thinking to myself Geez Louise, all my favorite foods. This is my first visit to your site and it's exceptional. Well organized, well written and great clear pictures. I shall enjoy returning for a bite of more. Thank you for sharing,

Love Morrocan food and am saving some of these delicious recipes for times when I need a break from eating out at my usual local joints. Also like the fact that this recipe is straightforward for the kitchen challenged such as myself :)
