Itinerary Idea in Detail

A typical Fez cooking class offers a comprehensive experience that immerses participants in the vibrant culinary culture of Morocco. The class often begins with a visit to the local souk, providing us with a firsthand look into Moroccan food traditions.

The day typically begins with a visit to a local souk, where we can explore the bustling marketplace and select fresh ingredients for our cooking session. This market tour provides valuable insights into Moroccan daily life and culinary traditions.

Upon arriving at the cooking venue, which is often a traditional Moroccan house or palais, we are welcomed with warm hospitality. Many classes take place in beautifully restored settings, such as a 14th-century Moroccan home or a rooftop kitchen with panoramic views of the medina. These authentic locations add to the overall cultural experience.

The cooking session usually starts with an introduction to Moroccan spices and ingredients. We learn about the essential components of Moroccan cuisine and how to blend spices to create complex flavor profiles. This foundation sets the stage for the rest of the cooking process.

Next, we move on to the hands-on preparation of traditional Moroccan dishes. Popular recipes include various types of tagines, such as chicken tagine with olives and preserved lemons, or meat and vegetable tagine. We may also learn to prepare couscous, a staple of Moroccan cuisine, with demonstrations of how to steam and fluff it to achieve the perfect texture.

In addition to main courses, we often learn to make a selection of Moroccan salads and appetizers. These might include zaalouk (an eggplant-based dish) or a variety of fresh vegetable salads. Bread-making is sometimes included, with participants learning to shape and bake traditional Moroccan bread.

Throughout the class, our instructors share cooking techniques specific to Moroccan cuisine, such as using a tagine pot effectively and layering ingredients to develop flavors. We get hands-on experience in chopping, seasoning, and cooking under the guidance of skilled chefs, learning valuable tips along the way.

As the dishes simmer, we usually enjoy a tea break, sampling traditional Moroccan mint tea and sometimes local pastries. This is also an opportunity for cultural exchange, as the instructors share stories and answer questions about Moroccan life and customs.

Once the cooking is complete, we sit down to enjoy the fruits of our labor. The meal is typically served in a communal setting, often on a rooftop terrace or in a beautifully decorated dining room. This shared meal is a highlight of the experience, allowing us to savor the dishes we’ve prepared and discuss our culinary journey.

Many classes conclude by providing us with recipe cards or booklets, allowing us to recreate the dishes at home. Some even offer small gifts like spice mixes or certificates of completion as mementos of the experience.

A Fez cooking class typically lasts between 4 to 5 hours, depending on the menu and the pace of the group. It’s an immersive experience that goes beyond just cooking, offering a deep dive into Moroccan culture, hospitality, and culinary traditions.
