Introducing the Delightful Sydney Based Moroccan Feast Restaurant.

www.infoafricanow.com had the great pleasure of interacting with Australia's Moroccan Feast. Here is what the charming restaurant has to offer the world:

"In the heart of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, we created a
Moroccan atmosphere, which through its traditional themes, colours,
scents and flavours, transports you to far away Morocco.



Our dishes are cooked and served in the centuries-old tradition that
has been passed down from Moroccan mother to daughter for many
generations…with the number one rule in mind that guarantees that
special taste: To cook from the heart!



The Moroccan kitchen has a rich history and its dishes provide bountiful
variety, so every few months at Moroccan Feast, we will add, change and
improve our current offerings. That way you won’t just have your
favourites, but you’ll have a reason to come back and try out our
different Feasts…

We would like to share the world of Moroccan cooking with you.



A mix of dishes from our menu will be explained in our private cooking
demonstrations which are held periodically. If you are interested,
please join our mailing list or check out our news on our website.

Moroccan Feast would love to help you celebrate any occasion with our unique,
warm culture of fantastic hearty food, belly dancing and music.



We are available for private and corporate events. Please contact us for more information. Enjoy your feast!"

Manager

African Pleasures Presents Hand Made Cards by Kenya's Tasha

Tasha is a cheerful, passionate designer with a deep seated desire to make a difference through hand crafted art.

www.infoafricanow.com was pleased to have a chat with her...

Infoafricanow.com: What does African Pleasures do?

Tasha: We sell whole sale hand made cards to individuals and shops around East Africa. We have dealt with Silverbird, Village Market, Chakacha, Undugu, Tazama Africa, Serena Hotels, Blue Elephant and Marula Studios. We are currently working on an online store which will expand our market.

Infoafricanow.com: How did you start designing cards?

Tasha: I started in 2008. I had previously been involved in several other ventures. Once I tapped into my creative side there was no turning back!

Infoafricanow.com: How much are your cards?

Tasha: We sell them at wholesale and retail prices. On average the cards cost three to five dollars.



Infoafricanow.com: How did you link up with Cards from Africa?

Tasha: I contacted Cards from Africa and requested to be one of their agents. I was very pleased when they accepted my offer. I am now their sole agent in Kenya.

Infoafricanow.com: What difficulties have you encountered so far?

Tasha: Well, a lot of Kenyans do not really appreciate hand made crafts. As a result, most of my clients are tourists and expatriates



Infoafricanow.com: What are your future plans?

Tasha: I hope to create a market for those making hand crafted items. I look forward to acting as a channel for all those creative artists who need an outlet for their beautiful work. Currently, I stock Cards designed using banana fiber by Kenyan artist.

I also wish to promote our cards for all seasons of the year. We have cards for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Weddings, Celebrating a newborn child, Birthdays, Get Well Soon Cards General cards and much more.

The cards are custom made. We can also make them in bulk if orders are made in advance.

Eki Orleans, Representing Africa Worldwide.



The Eki Orleans philosophy is about fusing vibrant prints with the delicate texture of silk. The designer, Hazel Aggrey-Orleans, whose inspiration is traditional West African patterns, creates her own interpretation of these cultural and intricate patterns. Like many upcoming designers, she is self-taught. The concept of the line began with a collection of scarves that combined different fabrics from India and Africa. After perfecting her technique of combining cultural prints, Hazel ventured out into designing her own garments that embody the uniqueness of her concept and collection. This is what makes Eki Orleans truly distinctive. For more information, visit the Eki Orleans website here.
