Moroccan Cooking Class in Casablanca: Learn & Cook at Home

Cook an authentic Moroccan meal in a local home, then eat it together

A private cooking class in Casablanca where you spend about an hour preparing traditional Moroccan dishes alongside your host Chamsi in her home kitchen, then share the meal you helped make with local wine and hospitality. The menu changes with the season and features local seafood, lamb tagines, couscous and salads. Vegetarian options are available with advance notice.

The experience

You arrive at Chamsi's home in Casablanca and step into her open-space kitchen to cook together. The menu shifts with what's in season. You might prepare lamb tagine with seasonal vegetables, marinated grilled seafood, Moroccan lemon chicken with olives, couscous, roasted pepper salad or eggplant zaalouk alongside homemade bread. Some components are prepped in advance, but you'll have your hands in the work for about an hour, learning the spice combinations and techniques that define everyday Moroccan cooking. Chamsi guides you through each dish, and the class is conducted in English, French or Arabic depending on what works for your group.

Once the cooking is done, you sit down together to eat. The meal concludes with a dessert like milk pastilla, oranges with cinnamon or Moroccan cakes, and you'll have a glass of local wine with the food. This is a private experience. It's just your group and Chamsi's family, not a classroom or a restaurant kitchen. If anyone in your party has allergies, dietary restrictions or cooking preferences, let the operator know at booking so Chamsi can adjust the menu.
