Moroccan Cooking Class in Casablanca: Learn Tagines & Sweets

Master tagines, salads and Moroccan sweets in a villa garden by the sea

A five-hour cooking class in Casablanca where you learn to prepare Moroccan salads, tagines and sweets from renowned chefs Hajja Touria Dakkaki and Hind Daissaoui in their beachfront villa garden. You knead dough for traditional bread, unlock the secrets of slow-simmered tagines, and make Moroccan sweets by hand, then sit down to eat what you've cooked.

The experience

The class runs five hours in the villa's garden overlooking the Atlantic, where you work alongside Chef Hajja Touria and her daughter Chef Hind. Both bring over 20 years of culinary expertise to the kitchen, and they teach by doing: you'll knead dough for traditional bread, learn the aromatic spice layering that defines a proper tagine, and make Moroccan sweets from scratch. Each dish carries a story of heritage, and the chefs share the techniques and cultural knowledge that go into them.

You start with Moroccan salads (the fresh, herb-forward preparations that open a meal), then move to tagines, where the real secrets live: how long to simmer, which spices go in when, how the clay pot itself shapes the flavor. The sweets come last, teaching you the precision and patience Moroccan pastry demands. Pickup is included, and the class welcomes children from age six.

Lunch and coffee or tea are part of the five hours, served after you've finished cooking. The villa garden is wheelchair accessible, and all surfaces and areas are flat and navigable. If you're traveling with an infant, specialized seats are available, and the site welcomes service animals.

Is this one for you?Small groups work best here. You'll cook alongside the chefs and a handful of others in their villa garden, so there's room for hands-on instruction and real conversation about the food. If you want to learn Moroccan cooking from someone who's been doing it for decades, not just watch a demonstration, this five-hour class is built for that.
