COOKING CLASS IN ESSAOUIRA
- Morocco cooking class tour in Essaouira to cook traditional dishes.
Essaouira Cooking Class allows you to experience Moroccan cuisine like a local, from the market to the table. Discover traditional cooking secrets and pick up a few recipes that you can incorporate into your own diet back home.
The cooking class takes place at an eco-friendly farm centered in an authentic Berber kitchen stocked with traditional items for food preparation.
Two lovely locals will show you how they roast barley grain on the fire, and then grind it in a stone mill to produce the flour and semolina used as the basis for traditional flat bread and couscous.
We bake flat bread in a clay oven and steam couscous in a traditional clay pot. We learn to make traditional tagine of vegetables and goat meat with Moroccan spices and olive oil derived from the olive trees growing on the farm. Eating outside in beautiful, calm, and natural surroundings is a special event. After lunch we enjoy tea infused with fresh herbs from the garden.
On our return trip we have the option to visit an Argan oil cooperative and learn about the production. There’s a good chance to see the famous goats in the trees on this tour.
It is highly recommended that you book ahead in time.
