Essaouira Cooking Class At Home

During your time together, you will start the morning by meeting me at Bab Marrakech, where we will walk through the local souq side by side — choosing fresh vegetables, fragrant spices, and the finest ingredients of the day. I will show you how to shop the way Moroccan families do, and explain the story behind every spice we pick up.

From the market, we head to my home in the medina. I welcome you with a traditional mint tea and homemade cookies before we roll up your sleeves and get cooking. Together we will prepare a full Moroccan meal — a slow-cooked tagine, fresh salads, and more — using techniques my mother and grandmother taught me. Every step is done by hand, the way it has always been done.

When the food is ready, we sit down and eat together. No rush. Just good food, good conversation, and the kind of warmth you only find in someone's home. You will leave with a full stomach, all the recipes we made, and a piece of Essaouira to carry with you.
