Mediterranean Tour, Part IV:  Moroccan Cuisine, $50 per person

Out of all of the classes we're teaching this year, I am looking forward to this one most of all.  Moroccan cuisine requires that you look at spices in a different way, and the results are fantastic.  Beautifully spiced, but not spicy. Five courses and French wines.  Can't wait!
