Dining Room
Marybeth loves to cook. She creates breakfast for you from locally grown,
organic ingredients whenever possible, many of which come from Natural Roots Farm. (David is shown with his horses above.) Her cuisine includes eclectic dishes
from Morocco, as well as simple fare. She offers homemade yogurt and granola,
made from scratch, along with fruit or eggs and varied home-baked breads and
muffins. She always asks if you have special food needs. She will prepare food
from the Zone diet, low carb, whatever you need. She will prepare food to
accommodate special needs or preferences.
Your breakfast choices may include Moroccan crepes prepared from a recipe I learned while traveling. From Marrakesh to the Sahara to the coast, Moroccan
crepes are a specialty. On one rooftop terrace, my daughter and I had to duel
with a seagull for our breakfast. Later, a friend from Marrakesh provided the
recipe for me. You also may be treated to some New England or family favorites
such as “Dutch Babies” , or something brand new, such as my Lemon Ricotta cheese pancakes, found in my
extensive cookbook collection.
I love collecting dishes and decorating my dining room for the seasons. Your
breakfast may be served on Bennington Pottery with its centuries old New
England tradition, special Holiday dishware or my heirloom china.
Whatever the morning brings, there will be delicious food awaiting you in a
lovely setting.
This picture is of Argan trees which are only found in certain areas of Morocco.
My daughter and I had seen pictures of goats in trees and couldn’t imagine why or where we might see them. As we were driving North out of the
Sahara, we began to encounter these low growing Argan trees which produce a
hard fruit. Sure enough, many of the trees were full of goats who had climbed
up to feast on the fruit. The Argan fruit produces an oil similar to olive oil
which is used in cooking and cosmetics. I use it in my omelets and frittatas as
an added flavor.
