Fine Fes Food

Cafe Clock, in Fes, Morocco, is the city’s (and perhaps the country’s) best cafe: a social nexus as well as a great place for a coffee or a camel burger. Last week I spent three days there taking photographs for the new Cafe Clock cookbook, to be published in spring 2010.

My photos include dishes, staff, customers and some food stalls around the medina. There’s also a severed camel’s head (hung outside the butcher to advertise fresh camel meat) and various sheep being dragged home for Eid al Adha. It was suggested that I might go watch the slaughter of a camel, but I chickened out of that.
