What makes this experience truly special is the heart and soul that Chef Tittif brings to every class. More than just a cooking lesson, this is a cultural exchange rooted in tradition, hospitality, and passion for Moroccan cuisine. You'll cook in an authentic home or riad kitchen—not a touristy workshop—using recipes passed down through generations. Chef Tittif's warm, welcoming style makes you feel like family from the moment you arrive. You'll walk through local markets, learn the stories behind each spice, and prepare meals just as Moroccan families do. With small group sizes, personalized attention, and real home-cooked flavors, this experience offers a deeper, more personal connection to Morocco than any restaurant or group tour can provide. You won’t just learn how to cook—you’ll leave with a piece of Moroccan culture in your heart.

What to expect

Your experience starts with a warm welcome from Chef Tittif and a refreshing glass of traditional Moroccan mint tea. You’ll begin by visiting a local market (souk) with the chef, where you’ll choose fresh ingredients—colorful vegetables, aromatic spices, and herbs—while learning about Moroccan culinary culture. Back at a traditional kitchen or riad, you’ll prepare a full Moroccan meal under Chef Tittif’s guidance. You’ll create dishes like Moroccan salads, tagine, and a local dessert, all while learning authentic techniques and cooking tips. The experience is hands-on, fun, and perfect for all skill levels. Once the cooking is done, you'll sit down with your fellow guests to enjoy the delicious meal you've prepared together. It’s a relaxed, friendly setting where food and culture come together. You’ll also receive printed recipes to take home, so you can recreate the flavors of Morocco in your own kitchen. This experience offers more than cooking—it’s a cultural connection.
