Cooking with local family:
“I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook.” Anthony
Bourdain.
To get under the skin of a country, try getting busy in the kitchen when you are there. Local food can teach you much about a society and its
traditions, learn to cook a signature dish or two and you also have a souvenir that you can easily recreate at home. After all, what better way to evoke
the memories of a trip than with the same mouth-watering smells that wafted through the markets and restaurants you visited?
Morocco – and Marrakech in particular – is a perfect destination for cookery classes. Its cuisine is rich, in terms of both history and the breadth of
ingredients. At root Marrakechi cuisine is Berber in origin, and flavoured with a host of spices from the Indian subcontinent, particularly cumin,
cinnamon and ginger. By taking a class, you’ll learn not only how to identify the quality of these spices, but how to use them effectively – and you’ll
be told repeatedly that couscous is most definitely not something you make in ten minutes from a bag.
This is not just cooking class but is opportunity to spend time with local family and share with them the secrets of their kitchen.
Shopping in the Souks:
Shopping in Morocco is a unique and exciting experience. No visit to Morocco would be complete without exploring the medinas (walled cities
with maze-like streets) of Marrakech and Fès. Unlike shopping in the West, where people tend to visit local retailers, in Morocco a shopping trip
involves visiting the old medina, and various souks (markets) within them that sell specific goods ranging from clothing, to fabrics, shoes, food
and carpets. Since most foreign currencies are strong in comparison to the Moroccan dirham, you can go on an extensive shopping spree and
purchase various local Moroccan handicrafts such as Moroccan leather work, carpets, jewellery of silver, gold and copper along
with ancient embroideries and basketwork.
