Immerse yourself in the rich culinary culture of Morocco with a hands-on cooking experience in a traditional riad in Essaouira. Led by a passionate local chef, this cooking class teaches you how to prepare one of Morocco’s signature dishes: tagine. Named after the clay pot in which it’s cooked, tagine combines meats, vegetables, and fruits like apricots or dates to achieve its distinctive sweet and savory flavor.

The experience begins with an introduction to essential Moroccan spices and ingredients, including the freshest cuts of meat, seasonal produce, and traditional cooking tools. You’ll also learn the techniques behind making couscous, fresh bread, and various Moroccan salads that complement the tagine.

Once your cooking is complete, you’ll enjoy your meal in the relaxing courtyard of the riad, followed by a soothing cup of mint tea shared with your host. This class is the perfect way to connect with Moroccan culture through food, tradition, and hospitality.
