Join us for an authentic Moroccan cooking experience. This opportunity is a delightful way to learn to cook, interact with locals, and be hosted by a lovely Moroccan family, where you will experience authentic Moroccan culture and daily life like a local insider. Treat yourself to an activity that immerses you in one of the world's best culinary experiences. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan cooking experience! Your most welcome participation is learning how to cook a Moroccan staple, and an opportunity to interact with the locals and be hosted by a lovely Moroccan family outside of tourism sites. You will be introduced to a lively Moroccan family in their home to experience genuine hospitality and share unforgettable moments in an atmospheric Moroccan dwelling.
We will introduce you to a family member at the lobby of your hotel or inn, who will escort you to the farmers' market to purchase the necessary groceries and ingredients to prepare your dish of choice. Through the neighbouring open medieval market, you will discover the art of buying groceries and spices in the most atmospheric fashion, develop bargaining skills, experience Moroccan humour, and uncover the secrets of medicinal herbs and spices that make Moroccan cuisine famous. Cooking in Morocco is an art and a healthy way to live daily. You will also learn the art of interacting with merchants and bargaining skills. Then, like a Moroccan, you will pick up the goods in your straw basket and head home with your host to discover the Moroccan interior and cooking skills in a Moroccan kitchen. Today, you can choose what interests you as tagine staples or a dish based on couscous, prepare a Moroccan salad, or bake bread, Mlaoui pancakes (“harcha”), or pastries—all under the guidance of your master chef, your home lady. Back at the house, you will first learn about the ingredients, traditional Moroccan dishes, and their preparation methods. And finally, you will start cooking with the help of the friendly chef. After cooking, you'll have time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your delicious, home-cooked meal while chatting with your new local friends. The tour finishes when your guide drops you off at your hotel. It will be one of the highlights of your cultural experience in Morocco.
