Traditional celebration cakes in Marrakech

Image
  We made a pretty cake recently for a wedding at Kasbah Bab Ourika - the transportation up the hill wasn't easy, as anyone will know who's been up there but we made it and were happy with the result. The cake was carrot cake and chocolate cake. We love to have a go at anything you might request. Get in touch with me Emma if you need a special cake - zamzamriad@gmail.com

Moroccan Gingerbread ladies - Marrakech

Image
      I was suprised when I turned around and my daughter had decorated her ginger bread ladies in Takchitas! I supose when you have lived in Morocco since you were 2 that is what you would dress then in. I think they are gorgeous in their Moroccan dresses and black hair.

Christmas at Zamzam Riad in Marrakech

Image
        We have been really busy making Christmas Cakes (some gluten free)gorgeous carrot cakes with mascopone icing and 100's of mince pies for guests and our Zamzam Christmas Party. My gardener is now an expert at making wreaths if anyone would like one let me know what size and he can do it for you. You will have to decorate it yourself, a bit of ribbon and gold spray - Mohammed's your uncle!

Zamzam Berber Carpets

Image
        I have been experimenting with carpet designs and colours with the Berber weavers and these are the samples I have gathered so far. The wool is lovely and fluffy it's a tight luxurious weave and I love the cream with black or brown really striking. These carpets can be made to measure and take about 10 weeks. The beauty is you can have the size and design you want. Email me for a quote @ Zamzamriad@gmail.com

Moroccan Cooking Classes at Zamzam

Image
        We are always busy at Zamzam running our very sucessful cooking classes with our experienced chef. Our cooking classes at Zamzam are done using the traditional Moroccan method of cooking over hot coals with a Mukla. The class begins with suggestions and a discussion on what you would like to cook before heading off to the local market to buy our produce. Once back at the riad there is a short break while everything is washed and then the work begins. Our Moroccan chef directs you while you prepare your dishes and take notes on the recipes. The finale is a delicious meal of your prepared dishes. Go to this link on our webpage to read full details of the classes and get prices. http://www.riadzamzam.com/food/ We are big foodies at Zamzam so it was natural to share our recipes with other enthusiasts. Email Emma to enquire about room availability and class availability. Zamzamriad@gmail.com

Vintage Handira at Zamzam Boutique

Image
        I have been busy finding beautiful handira for a couple of shops in New York. Finding these old wedding blankets in great condition is no longer easy. The popularity of them has meant that they are so hard to find. They are lovely though as each vintage piece is individual and made with love.
