What to expect

Meet Chamsi at the concierge desk of your hotel and head out to visit the local market. She’ll show you where she buys her fresh produce, take you to the meat market (not for the faint of heart but a true, local experience!), and show you the spices that are on offer.Once your market experience is complete you’ll head back to Chamsi’s home by car to get cooking! Learn to prepare a Moroccan meal with Chamsi in her beautiful open-space kitchen. Be ready to roll up your sleeves and help prepare an authentic Moroccan meal. You’ll cook together for about an hour before sitting down to enjoy the dishes you helped prepare. Some preparation for your meal might be done in advance. You will conclude your meal with a dessert such as milk pastilla, oranges with cinnamon or Moroccan cookies.

Chamsi can prepare a wonderful vegetarian meal, meat is halal or can also buy kosher meat, so be sure to ask if you have any special dietary requests.
