This a was an absolutely wonderful experience. We were welcomed into their home and treated like family. The whole family were so kind and welcoming. The food was fantastic!

Full description

Discover the authentic culinary traditions of Morocco with our immersive cooking class! Step beyond the typical tourist experience and dive into a cross-cultural gourmet adventure. Begin your journey with a guided tour of the fresh produce market in a Local Neighborhood, where you'll learn about ingredients, traditions, and customs.

Your host will ask about your preferences and recommend a menu. You'll decide what to cook, and we’ll shop for fresh ingredients for your cooking workshop.

With our shopping in the market done, next, enjoy a warm welcome at a Moroccan Family House. Here, you'll join the chef's brigade and uncover the gastronomic secrets of Essaouira. Learn Moroccan cooking techniques and create gourmet dishes in a lively, interactive setting.

After the workshop, savor the full menu you’ve crafted, from appetizers to desserts, served with love and Moroccan hospitality. Celebrate your culinary adventure with a joyful Moroccan tea. Unleash your inner chef and create unforgettable memories with us!

This was fantastic - our hosts were really friendly and explained everything really well. We were welcomed into their home and made to feel like guests. The tagine we made was the best food we had in Morocco. A real highlight of our trip. My kids loved it (9 and 11) as did my husband and I.
