Experience Details

What makes our activity truly special is the real Moroccan hospitality we offer to our guests. Beyond cooking and the tea Ceremony, we share with them everything they should know about Morocco and Essaouira, helping them discover the best places to buy spices, gifts, and argan oil at fair local prices. We also provide recommendations for authentic Moroccan dishes that most tourists never get to try, and suggest unique activities to enrich their stay. Sometimes, we even meet before the cooking class to go shopping together, or the following morning for a walking tour of the city, exploring the markets side by side and experiencing Essaouira like a local.

We are here as your local friends and guides in Essaouira

What You’ll Experience

Thank you for choosing us. we’ll do our very best to make your cooking class a truly special experience. We’ll begin by meeting near a traditional local market, where together we’ll shop for the fresh ingredients we’ll need, before heading to my home. Once there, the fun begins: peeling, cutting, maybe even a little crying over the onions, as we prepare everything for our tagine. I’ll also capture some pictures so you can take home great memories. When our tagine is simmering on the fire, we’ll enjoy Moroccan mint tea, share conversations, and give you my best tips on where to eat, shop, and find the most authentic spices or gifts at the right prices. And finally, when the tagine is almost ready, I’ll sneak out to grab some fresh bread, then come back and let you serve me the meal you just cooked for me. When your reservation is done, i will send you our Tagine liste so you can choose which one you'd like to make. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any help or recommendations for your personal shopping. Excited to see you.
