Overview

A cookery session offers something to take home beyond photographs: a chance to understand how a meal comes together. This programme begins around Kasbah Sous with ingredients and spices, moves through mint-tea preparation, and then puts you to work on a tajine with guidance. Lunch is the dish you have helped prepare, followed by time around the market. It is a practical alternative to sightseeing, especially if your holiday meals have mostly been at the hotel. Let the team know about allergies or dietary needs before booking so they can confirm what the session can accommodate.

Good to know

  • Wear comfortable clothing and shoes for standing and walking
  • Inform us of any dietary restrictions in advance
  • Bring sunscreen and a hat if sensitive to sun
  • Don't eat a big breakfast - you'll enjoy a hearty lunch!
  • The market can be busy; mind your belongings

Authentic taste of Morocco

The Tajine we cooked was delicious, and I loved the blend of spices we used. The mint tea was a hit with our group. It was a unique experience getting to learn about Moroccan cuisine in such a hands-on way.

Magical cooking class

From the moment we arrived in the village, we felt like part of the family. Cooking the Tajine was a fun and interactive experience, and the mint tea pouring was a highlight. The meal we enjoyed at the end was absolutely delicious.
