What to expect

Essaouira’s cooking draws on the coast as well as the Moroccan kitchen: think fragrant tagines, fresh salads and mint tea. A class lets you slow down and see how these dishes come together from start to finish.

Depending on the provider, sessions might include a walk through local ingredients, chopping and seasoning under guidance, and sitting down to eat what you have prepared. Menus, timing and language can differ, so we check what is on offer for your dates.

If anyone in your group has allergies or dietary requirements, mention them in your request. We pass them on to the provider before anything is confirmed.

A cooking class with a local host or chef
Ingredients and equipment for the session (to be confirmed)
A shared meal from what you prepare (ask the provider)
