Sarah put together a cooking class for us which had to be rescheduled but we finally got to go!
We met in the Medina at an old hotel and began the journey to the woman's house. It took us a bit to find the house, but it was in a little side street on the far side of the medina.
It was a pretty costly night. I can't exactly remember but something like 40-80 durham. She taught us how to make a rolled up veggie wrap thing. Mine didn't look very pretty. We learned a few words for the vegetables in colloquial Darija and she fried up our attempts at Arab food. Her family served us a nice break fast meal with plenty of dates and soup, veggie and meat fried foods, coffee for dessert which was very strong.
She had children who were fun to talk to and who of course berated our low level, overly formal Arabic!
After socializing for a while I took a train back from the Medina to my house after enjoying a little of the night life of post-fast in the Medina.
