It was announced in advance that we were going to 'buy in' for the tie in the souk and we had probably feared a little for the execution of! But it was arranged in an incredibly elegant way by the participants following the instructor around different parts of the souk and thus seeing and experiencing these and in practice bought the instructor from the merchants. After the purchase we went to a nice riad where we 'built' a tagine and before that we had been given a thorough instruction in making sweet, Moroccan mint tea.

We were a total of 8 participants and understood each other very well. First we went to the market with Hanna (I don't know if the name is spelled correctly) and bought spices, meat and vegetables and she told us what these things were called in Arabic. Then we went to a hotel and met Karima who was cooking with us. Although the recipe for a chicken tagine was, it was no problem for them to guide us for our vegetarian tagine. As a starter we prepared a typical Moroccan salad and as an dessert there were oranges with cinnamon. The best food we have eaten in Marrakech !! Everyone was very friendly and it was really a lot of fun to get to know the Moroccan cuisine. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

We were a group of 10 people from different countries. The lady can be on time at the agreed meeting point to shop at the market. A special experience was that the chicken to be cooked was slaughtered and cut up on site. But you didn't have to watch. In the riad we prepared the food in a relaxed atmosphere under the direction of Karima, which in the end tasted very good to everyone. The break on the roof terrace was nice.
