The experience

What makes this time well spent

Moroccan food is shaped by seasonal produce, slow cooking, shared tables and recipes passed from one generation to another.

The class begins with an introduction to the selected menu and the ingredients used during the session.

With support from a local cook, prepare several dishes step by step. The menu may include Moroccan salads, tagine, couscous, bread or pastries.

Once the cooking is complete, everyone sits together to enjoy the meal.
