Caroline Watts stands in the hallway of her riad in Marrakech, Morocco with two of the locals who make her cooking school such a unique experience. Mokhtar Moutayamine is a Bedouin guide who takes guests on overnight trips, including to his home territory of the north Sahara. Nezha Kriz, from a Berber family, is the chief cook and instructor in Caroline’s school.
