About this experience
Taste Morocco. Cook Morocco. Experience Fez.
Your experience begins in the heart of Fez with a visit to a lively local souk, where you’ll explore the
market and take part in selecting and purchasing the fresh ingredients you will use during your
cooking class.
Then, head to a traditional riad and restaurant, where a professional Moroccan chef will guide you
through the cooking experience.
You are not simply watching a demonstration — you will cook the dishes yourself. Choose from a
selection of popular Moroccan recipes and learn how to prepare traditional dishes such as chicken
tagine with olives, meat and vegetable tagine, or meat with prunes.
With the chef’s guidance, you’ll discover Moroccan cooking techniques, work with the ingredients
you selected at the market, and prepare your chosen dishes from the beginning to the final
presentation.
Once the cooking is complete, sit down and enjoy the meal you helped create. Your meal is
accompanied by a selection of Moroccan salads, seasonal fruits, local sweets, and fresh water.
The experience also includes a special introduction to traditional Moroccan mint tea. You’ll learn
how to prepare it yourself and discover why tea is such an important part of Moroccan hospitality.
Vegetarian options are available, and guests with food allergies can also be accommodated when
