Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima

Cooking Classes

Begin by learning authentic techniques in making Moroccan bread from scratch as a group. From there, take your bread to a public wood-burning oven to bake it. Following that, take part in a hands-on tutorial on how to prepare Moroccan mint tea, learning the traditions and customs related to Moroccan hospitality. You then move on to a custom-made cooking station where your dish is prepared. As your dish is cooking, visit a local spice shop and local market - Souk in Moroccan Arabic, throughout a guided tour. Finally, return to the center to finish decorating your delicious meal before dining together with your group around the table. Throughout the duration of your activity classic Andalucian Classical music is played, creating the perfect soundtrack for your experience.

Dive into the local culture and discover the rich mix of Berber, Arabic, Andalusian, and Mediterranean influence in the national cuisine. A local chef will present you with various choices of meals to prepare including tagine, fish Bastille, harcha (bread made from semolina), and Arabic pastries.  The day begins with hotel pickup from Chefchaouen. Once at the local home, get to know all the specialty ingredients in Moroccan cooking and chat with the host about Moroccan culture and customs. You are welcome to ask as much as you like – your local host will be happy to help you discover the culinary traditions.  Learn about the proper presentation of gourmet plates and then sit down to enjoy your homemade meal. Finish off with a typical Moroccan tea and collect your Certificate of Completion for the class.
