- Poste Maroc - Al Barid Bank - Dive into the vibrant heart of Chefchaouen and savor Moroccan cuisine from within. This engaging cooking class immerses you in local life, flavors, and traditions.
Start your journey in the medina, where your host greets you and leads you through the narrow blue streets to the bustling local market. Discover how to select the freshest ingredients, herbs, olives, vegetables, and hand-ground spices, while interacting with welcoming vendors.
Return to a traditional family home, where you can roll up your sleeves and cook together. Create an authentic tagine, such as chicken with preserved lemon and olives or lamb with prunes, along with side dishes like zaalouk (smoky eggplant) and Moroccan salad. Savor khobz, the traditional bread, and learn the art of mint tea preparation.
Once the cooking is complete, join your hosts to enjoy the meal you’ve crafted in the courtyard or on the rooftop terrace, surrounded by the blue hues of the medina and the distant Rif mountains. As you dine, your hosts share family recipes, customs, and tales of Arabo-Berber heritage.
This experience transcends a mere cooking class; it’s a personal cultural exchange where food, storytelling, and hospitality come together in the heart of Morocco’s Blue City.
