A fairy tale Birthday lunch - Marrakech Riad Style

What a wonderful day we had, all dressed up and ready for a very special day of marvelous friends, conversation, laughter and above all delicious food which when it came left us all totally silent. Something very rare for this group of people.
The Riad a beautiful fairytale in itself acted as an enchanted garden in the winter sun. We all arrived served a gorgeous cocktail or 4 and chatted wildly before going into the warm dining room for lunch.
We ate, all sorts of roasted vegetables some with feta cheese, some roasted on the vine, radishes with butter and salt, crispy fried sardines, followed by a saffron paella to die for crowned with cray fish. The wines carefully though out were all Moroccan and delicious. We finished with this light chocolate and fig torte and a pile of strawberries with a few bottles of cava. What a perfect day in Marrakech. It poured with rain apparently but non of us noticed.
The magic was everywhere even in the flowers and the birthday girl bloomed. What a joy friends are!
