FAQ
Well, first off, you’ll hit up a local market think wandering through stalls, chatting with vendors, the whole deal. Then you’ll get your hands dirty in a cooking class run by a local chef (who, by the way, actually knows their stuff). And yeah, you get to eat everything you make. and ingredients? Already taken care of.
Buckle up, because it’s a solid 6 to 7 hours, start to finish. That includes the drive out there and back, so you’re not just stuck in a kitchen the entire time. Plenty of time to work up an appetite.
Get ready for the classics: Moroccan tagine (the real deal, not some knockoff), fluffy couscous, and those super fresh salads everyone raves about. Everything’s local none of that supermarket nonsense.
Doesn’t matter. These classes are set up for everyone from folks who barely know how to boil water to people who think they’re the next MasterChef. No one’s judging.
Yep, it’s totally cool to bring them along as long as they’re at least 8. They’ll probably love getting stuck in. Just give a heads up if you’ve got little ones tagging along so they can make sure everything runs smoothly.
Honestly, just keep it comfy. You’ll be on your feet, maybe hustling through a market, so sneakers or any closed-toe shoes are your best bet. Leave the fancy stuff at home unless you want tomato sauce as a new accessory.
Totally! Vegan, gluten-free, allergic to celery just give us a heads-up before you show up so we’re not scrambling last minute. We’re pretty chill about making it work.
Yes of course !! while your food is being prepped, your guide will give you a short tour of the area, so you can take in your surroundings, learn more about the local culture, and soak in the environment before your food arrives.
