The Facilities

This day tour was organized by Michel, a French guy, who is never short of a joke. So be ready!

I was picked up around 10am and we drove out of the city. The cooking room was well organized and not too decoration-heavy although I was expecting something with a little bit more charm.

Discovering the spices

After a demonstration on how to prepare the dough for the bread, we all gathered around the spice table, put on some very hot purple glasses that were blacked out and Michel invited us to guess some of the spices. For all of them he shared interesting facts and information. I enjoyed this session.

Cooking Moroccan Bread

After that, it was our turn to make our own Moroccan bread. This was my favorite activity of the day (except for the time we got to eat what we had prepared LOL). I just loved punching and stretching and punching and stretching the dough. So therapeutic! I was quite proud of my almost perfect circle at the end

Cooking a tajine

We also cooked a nice tajine. As I was there on Satyrday it was a chicken tajine. I am not a big fan of lemon so I left it out. We had also one vegetarian who cooked a vegetarian tajine.

Cooking crepes

And at the end we learned how to make the dough for the crepes and how to fold them to create their layering. Quite fun!

And eating it all!

And then came the feast in the garden. We ate our own tajine and bread. The team had prepared some salad to accompany our lunch. And we finished with a crepe and some original ice-cream.
