We came as a group of 8 friends and had an absolute blast! Right from the start, we all got along really well and felt like good friends - such a warm and relaxed atmosphere. No one went home hungry because the food we made was simply delicious and everyone loved it. The entertainment was excellent too: we sang together, played the traditional guitar and just had a fantastic time. All in all, a perfectly enjoyable evening that we would love to do again!

It was a truly authentic experience and we really felt at home. The food we made was delicious and the guide facilitated everything perfectly. We recommend it 100% and especially at the beginning of the trip since he gives a lot of tips on restaurants etc.

Full description

Immerse yourself in the aromatic heart of Moroccan cuisine with our hands-on cooking class, held in a charming local house! We'll begin by gathering around a welcoming table, sipping steaming glasses of fragrant mint tea – a delightful introduction to Moroccan hospitality. As you unwind, your expert chef – a local with a passion for sharing their heritage – will guide you through the secrets of the spice cabinet. Learn about the vibrant colors and unique aromas of cumin, paprika, saffron, and a treasure trove of others.
And in the cozy house kitchen, the magic truly begins. With rolled-up sleeves and eager anticipation, you'll learn essential knife skills and traditional cooking techniques. Your chef will unveil the secrets behind the iconic tagine, demonstrating the art of layering spices, meats, and vegetables to create a masterpiece of flavor.

But our class goes beyond just tagines! We'll delve into other delectable dishes, perhaps exploring the secrets of fragrant pastilla, a savory pastry filled with chicken, almonds, and a touch of sweetness. Or, you might learn to prepare a vibrant couscous dish, a staple in Moroccan cuisine.

Throughout the class, the atmosphere is warm and interactive. Feel free to ask questions, experiment with flavors, and get hands-on with every step of the process. Your chef will be there to guide you, share stories about Moroccan food traditions, and ensure you feel confident in your newfound skills.

Finally, the moment you've been waiting for – feasting on your creations! Savor the delicious dishes you've prepared, sharing plates and laughter around a communal table. As you indulge in the vibrant flavors and textures, you'll not only be enjoying a meal but also a newfound appreciation for Moroccan culinary traditions.
