Additional Information

Moroccan culinary art, renowned as one of the most flavorful in North Africa, is a pleasure to experience. Our journey begins in the historic medina, at place de l’Horloge, from where we’ll proceed to the markets of Essaouira. We’ll explore these vibrant marketplaces, purchasing fresh ingredients from the local vendors. Once we’re stocked up, we’ll head back to my home where a glass of Moroccan mint tea awaits you. Subsequent to this, we’ll dive into the art of cooking, where I’ll guide you step by step in conjuring up our couscous - a recipe passed down from my grandmother.

Finally, we’ll bask in the fruits of our labor, enjoying our cooked dishes accompanied by an exquisite cup of Berber mint tea! I’ll also be unveiling the ‘secret of good’ to you!

Join me in Essaouira for a unique culinary journey unlike conventional cooking classes.

Higly recommended - We had a beautiful day with Fatima. Such a warm, hospitable and funny lady. She brought us to the local market, and we decided what dishes we wanted to cook. Afterwards she opened up her home for us, and we felt the most welcome. The food we made together with the master chef turned out amazing, and we couldn’t be more happy. Thank you so much for the nice experience Fatima!

Well worth it! - It was a unique experience! Meeting Fatima and my fellow guest, the full on market experience of choosing your bird, seeing the spices being ground for your own meal, buying from the heaps of local vegetables. And, inat Fatima's home helping with the preparing and eating of the delicious chicken tagine, moroccan sallad, berber pancakes. Not to mention all the shared information, tips, recipes and anecdotes. I would definitely recommend this experience!

Traditional tagine experience - This was a really nice experience with traditional cooking of two dishes. We bought everything, prepared and ate together. We made couscous and tagine. It was a relaxing time with Fatima.

An authentic cooking course - Fatimah's cooking class was really authentic. We bought the ingredients with Fatimah and then prepared an extremely delicious lamb tagine with plums and figs at her house. The spices were harmoniously coordinated. We can absolutely recommend the cooking class!

Exceptional - It was great ! Fatima welcomed us into her home, she is a very sweet and generous woman. We chose together the dishes we were going to cook (chicken tagine with lemon, beef tagine with vegetables). We laughed a lot, talked a lot, and we all enjoyed the dishes we prepared together. A big thank you to her for this beautiful moment of sharing!

More a meal than learning how to cook - It really was not a cooking class but we were preparing the vegetables. Some parts were explained to us. Really we had a meal in a lovely ladies house. She herself was fantastic
