Discover the warm, fragrant spices, flavors, and ingredients of Morocco in this hands-on workshop applying traditional Moroccan cooking methods.

Arab, Berber (Morocco’s indigenous population) and European culinary cultures intertwine to define this colorful and aromatic cuisine that satisfies the eyes as well as the tastebuds.

The ingredients that define the Moroccan cuisine are sourced far and wide across the bountiful country, lush with herbs, citrus, figs, and pomegranates and Medinas (the maze-like markets) lined with mountains of olives, spices, nuts, and fresh pastries, Morocco covers the entire spectrum of flavor.

Aromatic, healthy, and no stranger to spices… Moroccan cooking will open your eyes and palates to delectable sweet and savory ingredient combinations that will inspire you to think outside the box in your own cooking.

During class, each participant will receive recipe printouts, shopping and preparation checklists, and plenty to eat. Classes are by reservation only. Only 12 reservations per class. Please let us know about any special dietary needs.
