Moroccan cooking class

Almond Baklava

It's got to be my new favorite dessert. Below, you can see me and my new friend Vivian rolling some "cigars" as our Viking chef/instructor called them.

Joe drove us down to Franklin, Tenn. yesterday after work for a "Salute to Morocco" class at the Viking Cooking School. In addition to the baklava, we made some intensely tasty lamb meatballs, and fall-off-the-bone lemon chicken tagine.

I learned a number of things this time around...how to hold a very sharp knife, how to avoid getting splattered with hot oil, and how an expensive rubber spoon-tula can keep Ras al Hanout and onions from sticking to a saucepan-- thanks to our quirky instructor. To see more pics click.
