What to Expect from a Marrakech Cooking  Class?

Most cooking classes in Marrakech start with a visit to a local market, also known as a souk. Here, members get to experience the lively atmosphere, interrelate with vendors, and acquisition fresh fixings such as vegetables, meats, and also perfumed spices. The guided market tour also offers visions into old-style Moroccan food culture and also shopping habits.

A Unique Small Group Experience

After meeting the essential ingredients, participants move on to an old-style Moroccan kitchen, also often hosted in a riad (a traditional Moroccan house with an interior courtyard). Specially Under the leadership of experienced local chefs,

students learn to prepare classic Moroccan dishes such as:

• Tagine

• – A slow-cooked stew made with meat, vegetables, and also a blend of spices, cooked in a clay pot.

• Couscous

• – A staple dish made from steamed semolina grains, also often helped with vegetables and meat.

• Harira

• – A hearty Moroccan soup made with lentils, tomatoes, and chickpeas, commonly enjoyed during Ramadan.

• Moroccan Mint Tea

  – A perfumed and refreshing tea prepared with green tea, fresh mint leaves, and  also sugar, helped as a symbol of hospitality.

Throughout the class, members receive hands-on instruction, gaining valuable cooking techniques and also traditional insights. Once the cooking is complete, everyone gathers to enjoy the delightful homebased feast, also savoring the flavors of Morocco in an authentic setting.
