Cooking Class with Market Tour and Meal in Chefchaouen

This immersive cooking class connects you with local life, flavors, and traditions. Begin in the medina, where your host welcomes you and guides you through the narrow blue alleys to the local market. Learn to choose the freshest ingredients, herbs, olives, vegetables, and hand-ground spices, while meeting friendly vendors. Back at a traditional family house, roll up your sleeves and cook together. Prepare an authentic tagine, such as chicken with preserved lemon and olives or lamb with prunes, plus side dishes like zaalouk (smoky eggplant) and Moroccan salad. Taste khobz, the traditional bread, and discover the ritual of mint tea preparation. When the cooking is done, sit down with your hosts to enjoy the meal you’ve created in the courtyard or rooftop terrace, surrounded by the blue glow of the medina and the distant Rif mountains. As you eat, your hosts share family recipes, customs, and stories of Arabo-Berber heritage. This experience goes beyond a cooking class; it’s an intimate cultural exchange where food, storytelling, and hospitality unite in the heart of Morocco’s Blue City.
