Comments on: Review: Kazbah on Darling at Balmain’s Breakfast Banquet http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/05/13/kazbah-on-darling-at-balmains-breakfast-banquet/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I had the breakfast tagine & it was delicious.One of my favourite breakfast cafes. I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your site. Whenever I'm going out to eat I have a look to see if you've been there before.I gone to few places because you've recommended it.Your photos of the food are exceptional.

Or am I totally off the mark? Hi Maria-Woah that sounds like a lot of work! I read that you just heat milk in it and never to heat one empty. That process that you describe is a little scary and I think I would be put off by that too! I would love to get one from Morocco but I know it probably wouldn't make it home in one piece :lol: Thanks! Hi MagikPiper-It was! Like one of those dreams you had when you were a child of the never ending food :lol: Thanks so much! :) Hi giz-I think $20AUD is equal to about $18-$19CAD. I would love one of those tagines myself too! They also had a lovely vase but we didn't take pics of it as the flowers were totally dead in it-weird as the other flowers were in good condition! Hi BellaSignorina-Definitely a must have breakfast here.

I absolutely love the top tagine. Would you mind just slipping it in your purse and sending it to me. I'll pay the freight :) I’m not sure what the exchange is on AU to Canadian but $20 seems pretty reasonable for what you were presented with - it all looks so exotic and fun.

And all for $20. That's really worthwhile. I wished we have something similar here in Singapore. By the way, I placed your blog in my list of links. Hope you don't mind. I'm ned to food blogging, so I really don;t know what is the 101 on it yet. What an amazing spread!!! And all for $20. That’s really worthwhile. I wished we have something similar here in Singapore.

I was put-off to tell you the truth! The man/chef/cook filled his bath tub with water and submerged the tagine fully..and soaked it overnight and stuff..and explained how you had to do this inbetween meals/using it. There was a whole procedure/process re: tagine-care and I thought "gosh, too hard". Maybe I'm just lazy. I love the look of them and concept of them though! I don't think I've ever eaten anything cooked in one. My travel teacher back at college bought one in Morocco and transported it home without it breaking, I was impressed. You have a lovely meal on Sunday! :-D Heya Lorraine,

Enjoyed seeing your menu since it is a bit different than what you would get at a brunch in the US. Now that is a breakfast!
