Marrakesh

Sunday 18th July 8 pm More4

This is Jamie's first time in Marrakesh and his excitement shines through as he explores the city and its extraordinary cuisine born out of the French, Arab and Berber cultures. In the alleyways of the old Medina and the cafes of the wildly exotic Dja El Fna square he dodges snake charmers and tooth sellers to try out the street food of the city – slow-roasted lamb in cumin, prune and beef tagines, almond and rose water cakes. He visits a communal bread oven where kids drop off bread on their way to school and makes a 'portable' tangia - nomad's stew - on the hoof, slow roasting it in the fires heating the hammam baths.
