A morning activity (that includes lunch) and one that could be combined with an afternoon activity such as the MAJORELLE GARDENS, a PATISSERIE BAKING EXPERIENCE, the WATER EXPO, a CAMEL RIDE IN THE PALMERIES and/or spending time in the OLD MEDINA & SOUKS.

DESCRIPTION:

A morning Cookery Experience to prepare traditional Moroccan tagines (meat/vegetarian as requested). The group visits AMAL (Targa), a Womens’ Training Centre and Restaurant.
<br AMAL (meaning “Hope”) is located in the suburbs of Marrakech, set in a lush, tranquil garden. At AMAL women gain cookery skills that they then delight in passing on to the students. Once trained, these ladies are known as Amal Champions and the “door is opened” for them to then seek work in catering.
<br Based at their own workstations, students are provided with all necessary ingredients. Instruction is very accessible and easy to follow.
<br Drinking mint tea is very much part of the morning’s experience. The mint is picked from the AMAL garden. The tea is enjoyed – sitting on carpets and cushions - whilst the tagines are slowly cooking over traditional, open-air, charcoal fires (in open air). Everyone needs to use bellows to ensure that their fire is kept aglow!
<br Lunch is eaten in AMAL’s restaurant, the group’s tagines being very much the meal’s centre piece.
