Moroccan Chickpea Stew

May 26, 2024 | Blog, Kosher Recipes

As we have mentioned before regarding food service on our riverboats, superyachts and small expedition ships. We expand on our theme of modern Jewish Cuisine with the addition nightly of a high protein vegan dishes, for those who desire it.

Here is a new dish we are debuting on our upcoming Bordeaux cruise. As our current Douro cruise has been a massive sell out, please book early to ensure your cabin in Bordeaux, where good food and wine complete a beautiful cruise.

The close link between France and the Maghreb leads us to.

Another successful experience

Our experience was unique in that we were able to tour a lot of territory and a variety of places with minimal inconvenience. The fact that our boat was always with us and there were no long bus rides or waits made this mode of travel extremely enjoyable.
