I have a guest from Melbourne staying with me and when out on the town today here in Marrakech we took a break from the humidity at a lovely cafe. My friend ordered a fruit cocktail and it came beautifully presented with a clever garnish. A jaunty yellow rose made from a wide band of lemon peel with a mint sprig stem sat perkily on the rim of the glass. The mixed tropical juices were freshly blended and the glass clinked with a mass of small icy baubles. We really do eat [or drink] with our eyes and this perfect little adornment turned a drink of juice into an event. No surprises when I tell you we were at La Mamounia !
