Cooking in Fez: Launch of Clock Kitchen



Cafe Clock and Gail of FezFood have joined forces to launch a new Moroccan cooking school called Clock Kitchen.


Clock Kitchen is herer to help you gain access to and intensify your sensory experience of Morocco! From recipe to souk, through preparation to place, Clock Kitchen, located in the gastronomic capital of Fez, will chaperone you every step of the way.

Learn traditional Moroccan cooking with chefs Tariq and Souad, members of the team who have helped make Café Clock into ‘probably the best café in Morocco’ (Footprint’s Morocco Guide 2009). They have grown up with the secrets to traditional Moroccan cooking and are passionate about keeping them alive.

What better insight into the people of the ancient Fez Medina than by fully immersing yourself in the huge diversity of flavours that keep them going? If cooking is an expression of a culture, then Fez and Clock Kitchen are shouting out loud!!

Whether beginner, connoisseur or cordon-bleu trained, the workshop is for everyone who wants to jump into the melting pot of the medina and not just teeter on the side looking in.

If you want to know your brochettes from your brioutes, your chermoula from your chekchouka, and your harissa from your harira, let Clock Kitchen guide your way.

Mostly it is for anyone, individuals or groups, who want to have fun topped off with a feast!

Flavour is universal – so wherever you are from - let Clock Kitchen help set your taste-buds free!

Workshop Structure

Start the day at 10 am by choosing a personal menu that you want to learn to prepare and enjoy eating. Then it’s off to the souk, dodging the donkeys, bargaining with vendors, where Tariq will get you shopping for the freshest and best ingredients. For Clock Kitchen students it’s 'access all areas'!

Food sustains Fez and you can help sustain it too. By learning how to shop locally you will help traditional vendors stay that way.

By 3pm you will have practiced traditional techniques, understood the diversity of sumptuous flavours and enjoyed the 3-course feast that you have created. You will also have experienced the warm hospitality that’s at the real heart of Moroccan cuisine and is the essence of Café Clock’s Clock Kitchen!

Don't miss out on this unique sensory and cultural experience!

Book your place now by emailing Fezfood@gmail.com or calling Gail on +212 (0) 655 324 082.

Current workshop availability from 25th May 2009.

A one day cooking workshop costs 550 Dirham per person and includes ingredients, a goodie bag including a Cafe Clock T-shirt and recipe booklet to take away.

If you are interested in participating in a two-hour bread-baking workshop including a visit to the Feranne (600 year old community oven), or a one-day patisserie workshop, please also send your enquiry to Fezfood@gmail.com
