A crazy day at Riad Zamzam - Marrakech

-
My good lord what a day yesterday. I haven't got time to write you this, but I couldn't resist it before embarking on my last minute shopping list! This is how the day started. We turned on the swimming pool pump and it made a dreadful sucking, churning noise. Turn it off bellowed Marcus as we all waited for it to explode. It turns out that the very consciencious tadelakt man had put a big blue plastic bag in the filter at the bottom of the pool, so that when he was working no tadelakt would fall in and block the pump. The problem is everyone had forgotten this until the dreadful noise. We all looked at each other and then everyone said in unison, Abdelkarim (the guardien) will have to get in - the water is freezing said Mo the manager, no its not shouted the English party. What you don't know is that Abdelkarim is a bit of a show off so he jumped at the chance and was very proud that he had been chosen. Armed with a skrew driver, as he had to undo the screws underwater, down he dove. We need goggles, where can we get goggles in the Medina? everyone looked at me as if I had made a seriously blond comment.
How funny is that photo! He managed to get both screws out amazing! and saved the day. You can stay said Mo as he got out the pool. I think he needs a bonus for that one.
The day got more crazy ending in a huge Monsoon of rain, just as we were putting up curtains, thunder banged the wind blew and blew and the night was lit with ferocious lightning, we tried to get home in the pitch black. The roads were chaos, two accidents with police sending us back into town. We don't need this said Marcus as we ploughed through a lake on the road and lost vision.

Exhausted the evening ended with Marcus falling up the stairs whilst carrying my computer and broke the dongle off the side of it. I am able to post as I have stuck it together with gaffa tape and managed to get on the Internet!

L'Abyssin - well healed Marrakech

-
Image
L'Abyssin , a favourite restaurant of mine in Marrakech . The food is good, the vodka martinis (which i taught them) great, the ambiance relaxed but beautiful. It is a great place to go with friends especially with the girlie's if you want to kick back and catch up. In the summer the roof comes off the tent so that you are open to the stars and in winter the place is fully covered and cosy with heaters. L'Abyssin is part of the famous Palais Rhoul . There is enough space to ensure privacy and L'Abyssin is suitable chic so you can get glammed up for the night. This restaurant is a bit of treat! As you enter there is an outside contemporary bar mainly used in the summer, but roaring fire pits and candles lead the way to the bar and restaurant. You can find Palais Rhoul and L'Abyssin at Route de Fez, Km 6, Dar Tounsi , Le Palmeraie de Marrakech tel: 00212 (0)24329494 - email: info@palais-rhoul.com Enjoy!

Cooking a Tagine - Berber style

-
Image
Above is Amina making a tagine in her house. I just happened to pop round at the best moment. A tagine is the name given to the earth pot with the pointy lids the stews are made in. In the top of the lid is a round hole. Not many people know this, but the round hole at the top of the lid is for you to put cold water in to keep the vapours of the stew returning to the stew. Many people however just stick their spoon in the hole. The t agine above is a Berber Tagine . Now a big secret that i have found from many tagines being burnt on the bottom is this; if you are using your tagine dish on the hob you need to place a metal plate under it to act as a conductor. These tagines are traditionally made on a little charcoal fire. How to make a Berber Tagine - olive oil, onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, salt and pepper. Fry these ingredients for a little bit then add the meat and brown. This one was chunks of beef. After add water and leave meat to cook until tender. You may

Gnawa or Knawa - Great Music Masters in Morocco

-

Gnawa or Ganoua is the superb music that came up from Africa.  The musicians use metal castanets with the music (this is to remind them of the slaves chains) the trance like music is played with a Gamberi guitar.  This guitar is self taught there is no music for it and it only has 3 strings.  You could say each individual 'Melem' plays music of his soul.  Each year there is a fantastic Gnawa Festival in Essaouira, really worth going to. Not many people know but this music has come from the centre of Nigeria a city called Kano.  It's origins are Hawsa language and Kano is the Hawsa Centre of Nigeria.  Originally the music was called Knawa. The Gamberi is a deep guitar and listening to masters is incredible.  No wonder Jimmy Hendrix loved Essaouira.  If you get a chance go to see a full Gnawa performance with the traditional acrobats it is really worth it. The 4 Seasons Hotel in Marrakech has a good player but it is more background music than the real thing.  You can as
