Description

Begin your culinary adventure by meeting at a designated point, followed by a short tour of a local market near our home to buy fresh vegetables and all the necessary ingredients for our cooking class (Note: there are no market tours on Friday afternoons). Upon returning home, you'll first learn the traditional method of making Moroccan mint tea, enjoying the tea as we get to know each other. Next, dive into the cooking process where you’ll learn new techniques for peeling, chopping, and seasoning tagines with authentic spices, just as our grandmothers and mothers do. We typically prepare 3 to 4 different dishes, providing a comprehensive learning experience. During the cooking session, we’ll discuss Moroccan cultures, traditions, and history in depth. Participants will work as a team, enabling everyone to learn a variety of dishes, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. The cooking class lasts about 4 hours, from meeting to mealtime, but we maintain a relaxed pace to ensure you feel at home. At the end of the class, you’ll taste and enjoy the dishes you've prepared. In the evening, you’ll receive a link to our website where you can find recipes for the dishes made in class and many more.
