Immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of Morocco with an authentic, hands-on cooking in Marrakech. This is not just a lesson in cooking—it’s a cultural exchange and a journey into Moroccan hospitality.
You’ll begin your experience by joining your host to explore a local market (souk), where you’ll learn about traditional ingredients, fragrant spices, and seasonal produce. With baskets in hand, you’ll select the freshest items to prepare your meal.
Back in the kitchen—a charming riad courtyard or family home—you’ll be guided step-by-step through the preparation of:
- Chicken or lamb tagine with preserved lemons and olives
- Vegetable couscous or zaalouk (eggplant salad)
- Moroccan bread (khobz) baked the traditional way
- Mint tea ceremony—learn the art of pouring and serving Morocco’s signature drink
As your dishes slowly cook, your host will share stories about Moroccan culinary customs, regional variations, and the importance of food in Moroccan family life. Finally, you’ll sit down together to enjoy the meal you prepared, surrounded by the local hospitality.
