Choose Between Two Options

During each Moroccan cooking class, chef Anass Sentissi leads students in the creation of one appetizer and one entree, providing them with a copy of each recipe to take home. Chef Sentissi also imparts info on Moroccan culture, cuisine, and spices amid live Moroccan music and tastings of eight of the country's wines. Classes take place on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with all materials included.

Saffron Cafe

Intricate tiles in alternating colors stretch up the walls of Saffron Cafe’s cozy space, as imported Moroccan chandeliers hang from the ceiling and slender vases on each table hold fresh flowers. Amid this authentic atmosphere, head chef Anass Sentissi crafts equally genuine Moroccan cuisine that has earned praise from such publications as NUVO. Entrees such as slow-roasted and spiced leg of lamb steam beside sides of saffron rice, and plates of fluffy couscous cohabit with veggies alongside one of several wines imported from Morocco. Tagines, rich aromatic stews of chicken, lamb, or beef, arrive in glazed earthenware pots that protect their innards and keep food steamy with ornately painted conical lids.

A native of Morocco, Chef Sentissi made strides in the world of Andalusian and Middle Eastern music before opening Saffron Cafe, learning percussion and co-founding a classical music orchestra in Bloomington. He continues to weave music into Saffron Cafe’s ambiance, inviting live lute players to serenade diners every Saturday. Chef Sentissi also shares his knowledge of Moroccan cuisine by leading regular cooking classes that include a background on Moroccan history, an in-depth look at spices, and a tasting of various Moroccan wines.

The Groupon Guide to: Getting Onto the Roof

One of the main attractions of living in this place is its cool roof. There’s gotta be a way to get up there if the last people who lived here were able to do it. Here are some ideas for getting onto that roof:

  • Are there stairs we just don’t know about? They would have to be somewhere behind the dumpsters.
  • The building next door is pretty close. Do you think it’s safe to jump?
  • I bet Santa Claus has been up there. He’s all about roofs.
  • Do you think there’s one of those things where you pull something down and it becomes stairs?
  • There has to be a way because I saw people with a grill up there once.
  • I don’t think the building allows ladders, so it can’t be that.
  • I think the people in the top apartment think they’re the only ones who get roof access, but we’re all supposed to share it.
  • Do you think we’ll be able to get down from the roof if we do find a way up?
  • I heard you can see 100 miles in every direction up there.
  • I’m not expecting there to be a pool, but it would just be really cool if there were one.
  • Wait, are we on the roof?
  • The other day I think I heard a dog or a raccoon up there.
  • It’d be a good place to have a party, but I don’t want anyone to fall off the side.
  • It’d be really easy to get there if we could just open the window and climb up. But we don’t have any windows. We should ask our landlord for windows.
  • I bet it gets slippery up there when it’s icy out.
  • Am I too heavy to be thrown up there?
  • Honestly, if I had the right tools, I could just make a hole in the ceiling.
  • Man, we could do a million things up there. Even water balloons.
  • I saw a guy drop a penny from up there and it made a hole in the sidewalk.
  • I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately and I think the fresh air would really do me good. Oh man, yeah, it’d be great to have a mattress up there.
  • Ropes?
  • It’s just that I told a lot of people we had a roof. And everybody’s coming over eventually.
  • Someone had to get up there in the first place to install the chimneys.
  • Is this something we can sue the landlord over?
  • We used to go on the roof of my house growing up and pretend it was a fortress.
  • There’s no reason it would be illegal to be up there. We pay rent.
  • Man, what I wouldn’t give to be up there right now. Staring at the sun…I’d be free.
  • Do you think we need a key?
  • I used to be scared of heights, but now I’m not, since I ziplined last summer.
  • I hope there’s a toilet up there.
  • I’m gonna bring a jacket in case it gets cold at night.
  • My cousin’s a fireman.
  • I fell off of a roof when I was a kid, but I landed on a trampoline and bounced into a convertible and drove away.

There’s gotta be some way we can get on that roof.
