Moroccan Cooking Class

Embark on a culinary journey in Fez where you will uncover the secrets behind traditional Moroccan recipes. Are you prepared to step into the culinary world? Let's get cooking!

Available Experiences

Upon booking, you have the choice of two different experiences. Both begin at the Palais Bab Sahra Fez restaurant and are guided by an English-speaking professional, inclusive of all necessary ingredients, the meal cooked during the session, and refreshments like coffee and tea.

1-Hour Cooking Class

In this session, we will select from three authentic tagine recipes. Your options include lemon chicken tagine, vegetable tagine with chicken, or vegetable-only tagine, each crafted with its unique flair. Let’s dive into the preparation!

We’ll start by adding the ingredients to the tagine and setting it to low heat. As the delicious aromas waft through the area, you will also learn to brew traditional Moroccan tea, a true hallmark of Moroccan culture.

Once our cooking is complete, we’ll ascend to the rooftop to enjoy tea with traditional pastries while taking in views of the medina of Fez, one of the most ancient in the Islamic world. Afterwards, it's time to relish our own tagine.

• Timings: this experience is available at 12:30 pm and 6:30 pm

Cooking Class & Souk Exploration (4 Hours)

Our adventure begins by gathering fresh ingredients. We’ll visit a local souk right in the center of Fez's medina to select top-quality produce. Together, we will handpick meats, vegetables, fruits, and spices from vibrant food stalls.

With our shopping completed, we'll return to the restaurant to begin cooking. Donning our aprons, we will explore various interpretations of the classic tajin dish, an essential component of Moroccan dining. You will learn to prepare dishes like chicken with olives, meat with plums, and discover new couscous variations too. Plus, we will perfect the art of making Moroccan tea!

Once our meal is ready, we will enjoy a satisfying feast. Accompanied by a fresh salad and seasonal fruit, this will surely be one of the finest meals enjoyed during your stay in Morocco—the one you’ve prepared yourself!
