Full description
Get ready for the ultimate tajine experience on this one of a kind tour in Marrakech. From market to plate, you’ll learn how to whip up a tajine from scratch, using ingredients from the famous Marrakech souks. The best part of it all? You get to devour your tajine after you’ve made it! Stroll among the locals as you select the meat, vegetables, herbs, and spices that form the basis of Moroccan cuisine. Learn how spices are used, and about their historic importation to Morocco over thousands of years. Discover homegrown ingredients, such as saffron from Taliouine, mint and olives from Meknes, and oranges and lemons from Fez. Then, during your hands-on cookery class, an expert chef will teach you how to make traditional dishes central to Moroccan meals. Among the most famous Moroccan dishes are couscous, pastila, tagine, tanjia, and harira. Although the last is a soup, it is considered a dish in itself, especially during Ramadan, and is often served with delicious local dates. Once you have prepared your tagine meal, sit down to savor the delights of your cookery class in the delightful surroundings of a typical riad. Afterwards you will be transferred back to your hotel, armed with your own exclusive Moroccan recipes to try at home.

This was incredible. We met the guide and one other couple for some quick shopping of the ingredients for our meal. Following our guide through the markets was a blast--nothing like being with a local. Our guide paid for everything and was amenable to pick up extra vegetables for a vegetable tagine since my wife didn't want to eat a chicken that was slaughtered in front of us. Unfortunately, our guide had to run for a family emergency, but left us in good hands at the Riyad where we cooked. There, two local women helped prepare all ingredients but then let us take over for the actual chopping and layering of the ingredients in the tagine. (There was also a man that worked at the Riyad that translated.) We made two tagines--one with the chicken, one with vegetables--and a dessert with oranges and cinnamon. Whilst the main dishes cooked, we had mint tea and cookies and relaxed. The meal was absolutely delicious. We're so happy we signed up for this and highly recommend the experience.

We really enjoyed our time on this tour. Met some nice people and enjoyed a meal together. Shopping for food with a local is nice, because I wouldn't do it otherwise. She did not have to haggle. We passed on the chicken experience. The guides were lovely and answered all our questions. Nice way to spend the day.

Karima was very nice, she met us at the appointed place, walked us through the market to buy the groceries to cook, she answered all our questions regarding food, culture and life in Marrakesh. It was a very nice experience! I definitely recommend it!
