With its influences stemming from the North African Berber cuisine, as well as Arabic, Mediterranean, Spanish and some sub-Saharan African flavours, Moroccan fare is known for its gorgeous combination of herbs and spices to create fragrant and delicious dishes. Students will explore flavours of the north with this interactive, relaxed and fun Moroccan Magic Cooking Class, led by a knowledgeable and passionate teacher.

When the participants arrive at this gorgeous Noosa location, they will be welcomed with a café-style coffee or tea, and a freshly baked muffin to be enjoyed on the veranda overlooking Noosa National Park and their tropical gardens. Designed to be an intimate class environment with a maximum of 10 people, participants of all cooking levels are welcome, and will receive the individual attention they require.

The sumptuous sample menu included in this class is full of the freshest local ingredients to reflect the season, and will teach new techniques along with different flavour combinations. These include:

- Filo pastries filled with spiced lamb complete with a harissa yoghurt

- Chicken tagine with olives and preserved lemon

- Tagine of chickpeas

- Lemon cous cous with pistachios and parsley

- Moroccan style carrot salad

- Fresh dates filled with rosewater and almond

After the preparation and cooking is done, students will enjoy the feast of their creation over a sit down meal with full servings of these beautiful dishes. Complete with a couple of glasses of wine to match, and the wonderful company of their new classmate friends, they will finish off their experience feeling inspired. All of the recipes, class notes and tips from their Moroccan adventure will be available to take home to recreate in their own kitchen, whether that is to impress guests or simply practice their tagine tricks for a solo dinner.

Whether they are visiting the Sunshine Coast, or are a local, this gift is a wonderful idea to help broaden anyone’s culinary skills to include the flavours of Morocco. Your lucky gift-ee has 12 months to use their voucher, and will organise everything directly through the experience provider. All details will be emailed to your inbox immediately after purchase!
