Moroccan cuisine ranks among the most delicious in the world, reflecting a remarkable diversity of influences. Moroccan food traces the country's long history of colonists and immigrants who have left their mark on its flavors, from Berbers to Arabs, Moors, Spaniards, Jews and Ottomans. Notably, the relatively short-lived French era left behind an indelible culture of cafés, pastries and wine. Over time, the chefs of the five royal cities (Fez, Marrakesh, Meknes, Tangier and Rabat) have developed and perfected wow-factor dishes that perfectly blend all of these distinctive tastes.
Learn the secrets to preparing a variety of Moroccan specialties during a memorable cooking class and lunch at the Blue Door Hotel Cooking Classroom. You'll discover that every Moroccan dish has its place in society and varies with the market, season and region.
Your first stop is at the Grand Socco market -- a cavalcade of color, charm, and street musicians. All manner of items are sold here, including fish, handicrafts, and spices. As you wander about, the chef will acquire everything you need to complete your wonderful meal.
Proceed to the classroom, where your arrival signals the need for a refreshment of mint tea. A beautiful, inspiring cookery lesson follows, and you will learn about the spices and methods used in the creation of a variety of Moroccan entrees and desserts.
Finally, enjoy the marvelously flavorful and aromatic dishes that you have prepared.
