1st edition of the CCSM’s “Swiss Fondue Evening”

As part of the Swiss Festival, held from 27 February to 10 March to promote the country and its gastronomy, the Mövenpick hotel in Casablanca was decked out in the colours of Helvetia, right down to the lift, where yodelling guided the guests and CCSM members to the cocktail reception held beside the magnificent pool on the 16^th floor.

Under the banner of Swiss gastronomy, the evening delighted the guests present, who were immersed in a friendly and warm atmosphere. On this International Women’s Day, I would like to pay tribute to them. Ladies, you should know that Swiss tradition requires the men to prepare the fondue! , said Mr Massimo Baggi, Ambassador of Switzerland to Morocco, to open the festivities. Alongside him, Mr Mehdi Benzaari, President of the CCSM, invited all the guests to taste the fondues and raclettes prepared by the Michelin-starred chef Walter Wyssen. A veritable feast of dried meats, Grisons beef, raclette cheeses… Not forgetting the essential Swiss chocolate, of course.

Also on the programme for the evening was live music, as well as a raffle offering a two-night stay at the Mövenpick Mansour Eddahbi hotel in Marrakech. And it was number “eight hundred and ninety-seven”, Mr Lucio Parada Oudkerk, who was the lucky winner of this “evening in honour of his country of origin”.

The CCSM owes the success of this wonderful evening to its sponsors: Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca, Mövenpick Mansour Eddahbi Marrakech, Les Eaux Minérales d’Oulmès, Chronoss, Le Sommelier de Racine, Lindor and Tchaba.

A big thank you to all, and see you very soon for another gourmet evening!
