This week - Chicken Tagine


This weekends special: Chermoula Chicken Tagine proved very popular last night when the 
North Shore Community Centre came for their Christmas break-up party.

I too, had this for dinner last night. Served with pilaf and topped with chermoula and slivered almonds, I was instantly transported back to my holiday in Morocco many years ago. This dish is full of the authentic flavours of Morocco. If you love tagines I suggest you to try this now!

Yum!

New cakes!


With so many christmas parties and the school holidays upon us, our dispay cabinet 
is brimming full of goodies. 

This week, two new cakes for Cafe Alcarzar. 


 Passionfruit and White Chocolate Cheesecake


 and Celebration Chocolate Torte.

However, there are still all of our old favourites:
Baked Vanilla Cheesecake with Salted Caramel and Macadamia Sauce
our yummy Bakalava and the ever popular Turkish Delight.

And if you are after something not so sweet, maybe something to takeaway, 
perhaps to your next christmas party.

Tapenade 
Hommus 
Fresh locally-grown Figs
Iranian Dates
Marinated Olives
Dolmades
Marinated Feta
Semi-dried Tomatoes
Preserved Lemons
