Moroccan Spice Weekend Cooking Class
San Francisco, California
$900.00 pp* | April 9-10, 2016
From the very first time I set foot in Morocco, I fell in love with these flavors. Mealtime in Morocco is a magical experience and throughout this hands-on weekend class, you'll learn why! We’ll start off making one of my favorite dishes,-- a spiced Eggplant Jam that's spiked with preserved lemons that we’ll smear onto warm pita chips and an Orange, Carrot and Radish Salad drizzled with the most fragrant orange blossom water.
We’ll crank up the oven and make homemade flat bread, dust it with nigella and dip it into the argan oil I brought back from Marrakech.
I can’t wait to show you how to make Briouats, the baked phyllo triangles filled with with spicy shrimp and scallops and of course we will make tagines, the famous stews cooked in a clay oven. This class wouldn’t be complete without preparing couscous in the traditional way, using a special four-step method resulting in a couscous that’s so light, it will almost melt in your mouth.
And for dessert? We'll make this gorgeous bisteeya, a layered almond and cinnamon “torte” that’s nothing like anything you've ever tried before!
