  • Mourad, New Moroccan
    E7
    Mourad, New MoroccanTo test their latest cookbook "Mourad, New Moroccan" which focuses on modern takes of traditional Moroccan dishes, Anna and Kristina feel they can only properly do so by traveling to Marrakech, Morocco. They are in awe of the vividness of Moroccan cuisine as evidenced by the food markets, most specifically the spice markets, which comprise an integral part of food preparation. In three and half hours, they will prepare six dishes: figs, crème fraiche, arugula & mint salad, grilled kefta, harrisa rolls, vegetable tagine, basteeya, and almond cookies. Beyond the unfamiliarity with some of the ingredients, they are also unfamiliar with their kitchen and what is available in it, on which they will blame if their meal is a disaster. They are nervous about meeting their guest chef, as she is Chafaï Choumicha, a Moroccan celebrity chef with a rock star status in Morocco. They just hope that if non-English speaking Chef Chafaï doesn't like the food, it won't come through in the translation. As they will be using one in the preparation of their meal, they also test different types of tagines available commercially in Canada against the standard terra cotta tagine used in most Moroccan kitchens.
