cookery school

Daytime Practical Course

At the heart of Moroccan cookery are tagines … developed in many variations and named after the funnel shaped pot in which they are cooked. Simplicity is at the heart of a Medina kitchen where the exotic fuses with the domestic to produce deliciously flavoured dishes that are quick and relatively easy to prepare.

This course covers some of the most popular dishes together with some additional ideas that will have you longing to fill your cupboards with some of the aromatic spices used within this style of cooking as well as the glorious tagine pots that would grace any kitchen in the world.

Dishes you may create:
Chicken Tagine
Jewelled Cous Cous
Grilled aubergine salad
Moroccan carrot and orange salad
Hout Khaudra (a marinated fish dish)
Banana, apricot and cinnamon filo parcels

During your day

Arrive at 10.00am. Enjoy a hot drink and homemade snack in our welcoming riverside Aga room where you can meet and chat with your fellow cooks.

At around 10.15ammove upstairs to the fully equipped cooking and demonstration area. Each cook will have their own ‘galley’ style kitchen to work from. There are also facilities for those with disabilities and for children of varying ages.

Your course will start with a demonstration by your chef. You will then return to your kitchen, copy what they have shown you and start cooking…..

Lunch is a social affair back in the Aga room. Something light and delicious accompanied by a glass of wine.

The afternoon session is some more watching, learning and doing, with a refreshment break somewhere along the way.
The course finishes at around 4.00pm. You will be able to take your creations home with you so you may want to bring some plastic containers on the day. You will also be given a booklet containing all the day’s recipes.
