In Morocco, Tajine Is What's Cooking - FIRST AND FOREMOST: Moroccan tajine cooking is one of the most unique, savory, and delicious culinary techniques. THAT SAID: Learning it from an expert is a rarefied and wonderful experience. We shopped for ingredients, visited a spice vendor (yeah, I got plenty to bring home), then prepped and cooked dinner. BETTER STILL: We made chicken tajine, couscous with caramelized onions and raisins, and light panna cotta dessert. Chef showed a double-secrete technique for steaming the couscous. YUM! BTW: There was a little too much down time before we started the class and while the tajine cooked. That's why four stars not five. IN BRIEF: Our cooking class at Monriad was extremely fun, instructive, and delicious. They even followed up by sending the recipes by email.
