Moroccan Cooking Class With Chef Najlae

Moroccan Cooking Class With Chef Najlae

We will meet at the local pharmacy near my home because my house is a little hard to find.
We will then buy vegetables and fruit at the local market and go home, which I share with you my two beloved dogs and my family, and which is in the heart of the old medina. After learning how to make traditional mint tea, we will rink tea, biscuits and traditional Moroccan cakes.
The pleasure begins then! We will start by preparing our main meal, which I will guide you. It will be based on what we get back on the market. I will explain step by step the spices, herbs and cooking techniques that we use to prepare an authentic Moroccan meal
Once the cooking is over, we will go to the local bakery to buy fresh bread baked.
my sister will be happy to make beautiful henna patterns on your hands while I prepare the table

I love sharing stories about my culture and also hearing about yours and I love to be helpful so when we dine together, please do let me know if you have any questions about Marrakesh, from acceptable prices for spices in the markets to places of interest in the city. Please also let me know if you have any allergies to any food or to dogs. See you soon!

We will start the day (depending on morning or afternoon session) at 9h30 or 15:00.
