COOKING CLASSES

DESERT-ATLAS MOUNTAINS


We Can Give You a One In A Lifetime Experience To A Destination of Your Choice 

Dive into the rich flavors of Moroccan cuisine with hands-on cooking classes set in breathtaking locations — the tranquil Atlas Mountains and the mystical Sahara and Agafay deserts. Guided by local Berber women and professional chefs, you'll learn to prepare iconic dishes like tagine, couscous, pastilla, and traditional bread baked in clay ovens. In the Atlas Mountains, classes often take place in family homes or garden terraces with stunning valley views, offering a heartwarming glimpse into daily mountain life. In the desert, cook under open skies or in nomadic tents, surrounded by golden dunes or rocky landscapes. Each class includes a cultural introduction, ingredient sourcing (often from local markets or gardens), and a shared meal — making it not just a culinary lesson, but a soulful journey into Moroccan tradition and hospitality.
