Join a two-hour hands-on Moroccan cooking class in an Ighoud village kitchen, ending with a shared meal of the dishes you cook.

Getting started

Arrive at the village kitchen in Ighoud and meet your local cook, who introduces the session format and ingredients. After a brief overview of the menu, you move to your workstation and put on the provided apron. Once everyone is set up, the group gathers around the main preparation area, and the cooking class begins.

What to expect

Ighoud village cooking class

This is a hands-on Moroccan cooking session held in a real village kitchen rather than a demonstration space. Across two hours, you prepare a selection of inland and coastal Moroccan dishes from scratch, then sit down together to eat everything you have cooked.

Features

• Learn to cook both inland and coastal Moroccan dishes in one session, guided step by step by a local cook who shares practical techniques and everyday kitchen tips.

• Everything you need is provided, including all ingredients, utensils, and aprons, so you can focus fully on the recipes and the cooking process.

• Guidance is available in Arabic, Darija, French, and English, which helps you follow instructions comfortably and ask questions in the language you prefer.

• At the end of the class, the meal you cook is eaten together as a shared meal with fellow participants, with mint tea and drinking water served at the table.

• The experience is run in small groups of up to 10 guests, creating a relaxed pace where everyone can participate in chopping, seasoning, and cooking.

• A souvenir photo is taken to capture your time in the village kitchen, giving you a tangible reminder of the dishes you prepared and the group you cooked with.
