TASTES OF JEWISH MOROCCO                         EU 85pp        9am - 2pm

                                                             The Mimouna                                                1 - 6 guests

This class is taught all year, so you can prepare the Mimouna when it comes around..SO much more than just a sandwich! Living as I do in the Jewish Quarter of the old medina, I have for a while, wanted to introduce a Jewish Moroccan class in celebration of the harmonious once upon a time, as much as I want to celebrate my special friendship with Jewish girlfriends, from my once upon a time, in Melbourne. We will shop for and prepare a wondrous feast with sweet abandon, to give the coming year after the Passover and after the class, a jolly good start to being one of sweetness, prosperity and plenty

This wonderful Jewish Moroccan celebration comes at the end of Passover when leavened foods once again grace the table! Muslim neighbours will return flour and couscous stored in their homes during this period and bring gifts of  milk, honey and extra couscous and flour.
