There’s no better way to experience Morocco than through its food—and in Tangier, you can do more than just taste it. You can learn to make it yourself! Whether you’re a curious foodie or a passionate home cook, our Moroccan cooking classes give you the chance to dive deep into the flavors, scents, and soul of local cuisine.
From the sizzle of spices to the soothing swirl of mint tea, you’ll be guided step-by-step by warm, knowledgeable local chefs in a friendly, hands-on environment. This is more than a cooking lesson—it’s a cultural journey.
🍛 What You’ll Learn
During your time in the kitchen, you’ll cook a full Moroccan meal using traditional techniques, fresh ingredients, and time-honored recipes. Our menus vary by season and request, but often include:
- Tagine – Chicken with preserved lemon, lamb with prunes, or seasonal vegetable options
- Couscous – Prepared from scratch, the Moroccan way, with a variety of vegetables or meat
- Fresh Salads – Like zaalouk (smoky eggplant), taktouka (tomato and pepper), or cucumber with orange blossom water
- Pastilla – A savory-sweet delicacy often filled with chicken, seafood, or almonds
- Moroccan Mint Tea & Pastries – Learn the art of pouring tea and crafting the perfect bite-sized treat
