Curriculum
The eight weeks intensive training programme covers basic culinary skills including planning, hygiene, and food safety followed by health and sustainability. Focus will also turn to New Nordic Cuisine, world cuisine and to Moroccan culinary history, produce, classic dishes and the potential for innovation. Towards the end of each course, the trainees will plan and execute an event putting their recently acquired skills into practice.
”It is our mission not only to transfer the educational instruments as well as the professional tools to the young beneficiaries of our program, but also to inspire every young Moroccan man and woman to believe that no matter where you come from, and no matter where you may fall – or how many times you may fall – you can all become Hicham El Guerroug or Nawal El Moutawakill of Moroccan gastronomy.”
