Amazigh Cooking Class in Essaouira

Enjoy an authentic Amazigh cooking experience in a welcoming rural family home just outside Essaouira, where you’ll learn traditional Moroccan recipes alongside the family. Your visit begins with mint tea and warm hospitality before you help gather fresh ingredients from the garden or select produce at a local souk, depending on the season.

Guided by generations of culinary knowledge, you’ll discover the art of Moroccan spice blending and take part in preparing a classic tagine, from chopping vegetables to slow-cooking over traditional methods that create rich, layered flavours.

The experience ends with a shared meal featuring the dish you’ve created, served with fresh bread and conversation, offering not just a cooking class but a genuine insight into Amazigh food, family life and everyday traditions.

The experience includes a traditional welcome mint tea, all ingredients needed to prepare your tagine, step-by-step hands-on cooking guidance from your hosts, and the meal you’ve created – typically a freshly cooked tagine served with bread. Private round-trip transport from Essaouira is also included.
