Don’t miss this opportunity! - This was an absolutely wonderful experience! We toured the market then went to the school where we learned how to make bread, how to prepare festive tea (delicious) and in the beautifully appointed kitchen made chicken tagine which we then ate ate for lunch along with wonderful vegetable salads, our homemade bread and lovely cookies for dessert with more tea. The ladies who taught us were kind, patient and very informative. At the end of the afternoon we left with a wonderful new recipe to try at home and a much better understanding of Morocco. It was a highlight of the entire trip. One caveat - the school is on the 5 th story of a building with no elevator.

Blue Door Cuisine: Incredible!! - Incredible experience and do not leave Tangier without booking this class. We started with a market tour, then headed over to the Blue Door home base and were warmly greeted by the staff and the owner, Tim. The place has a large open kitchen and another room with five complete cooking stations - kind of like Top Chef! First up - Moroccan bread making and the woman who taught us is a master. The uncooked loaves were then taken to a nearby public oven for baking. We then went to our cooking stations and cooked our own chicken tagines, starting from scratch doing all the chopping and seasoning ourselves. The staff was there to help if needed. While the tagines were cooking and the bread was baking, we then learned how to make traditional Moroccan tea. To say the meal was delicious would be an understatement! It was wonderful! It was the staff who really made this experience as great as it was. They’re all knowledgeable, warm, inviting, and giving. And they laugh a lot. I was desperate to see the public oven so Tim had one of his staff take there. Don’t miss it. And again, take this class. It will immerse you in the culture - and you’ll learn something. Congrats to Blue Door Cuisine for designing such a great experience!
