Couscous Festival

Last year’s festival was held at Ecole de Cuisine, housed in Chefs Center of California, on Saturday, October 16, 2010 and Sunday, October 17, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
They have a time for you to go and try out the different cous cous and learn different techniques on how to cook it. It was interesting.
They also had jewelry and trinkets being sold too.
«Throughout the festival, the hearing holes of visitors will be awash with Tuareg sound waves as musicians Alhassane and Serena fill the air with Saharan blues and acoustic tunes. Tuareg artist Moussa Albaka will show off his jeweled creations during the event, enticing passers-​by like so many cats to a precariously perched vase. Half-​day food fans get $ 15 worth of food tickets (full-​day visitors get $ 30 worth) to spend at the North African Street Food Bazaar ($ 2-​$ 6 per item) or at the main restaurant ($ 4-​$ 7 per plate). Guests can get tastes of batata chips (Algerian fried potatoes), fish and seafood couscous, and chufa– nut milk, as well as other selections from the diverse event menu. Additional food tickets may be purchased during the event; consult the Saturday and Sunday schedules to plan ahead and catch the presenters that interest you most.» — website last year
It was rainy last year.
I’m looking forward to this year’s festival — September 18 in Glendale!
