Join your host in her kitchen and learn to prepare an authentic Moroccan meal! You’ll be cooking together for about an hour before sitting down to enjoy the dishes you helped prepare. Some dishes for your meal might be prepared in advance. You will be learning to make typical home-style dishes that are seasonal and often feature Casablanca’s local seafood. You might try lamb tagine with seasonal vegetables, marinated and grilled seafood, Moroccan lemon chicken with olives, couscous, tchackchouka (roasted bell pepper salad), camel burger or zaalouk (eggplant salad) with homemade bread. You will conclude your meal with a dessert such as milk pastilla, oranges with cinnamon or Moroccan cakes.
Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a real hands-on cooking experience with a wonderful local host in her beautiful Casablanca home!

A great experience with a very gracious young woman and her family who welcomed you into their home in a way that was friendly and informative.

Chandigarh was the kindest person I’ve met in Morocco. Our experience was beyond awesome! We experienced a shopping trip to the local market in addition to a cooking class. I, unfortunately, did not have a hair straightener with me that worked. She went out of her way to accommodate me and direct me to a store where I could find one.
The cooking class introduced us to using spice-not just pinching spice into the food.
With in 5 minutes I truly felt “family” in her house!

Wonderful local cooking experience in a private home. Super warm, friendly and authentic. It was fun. The food was tasty and not something one might find in a restaurant.

This was by far my favorite activity while in Casablanca. Chamsi and her family were warm and welcoming and she is a fantastic cook and hostess. We did the traditional salads, monk fish appetizer and lamb tangine. All delicious and wonderful. Her husband, son and housekeeper were fun and engaging. The trip to the market and bakery were great. I even went back to the bakery a few days later - so delicious. it was so much fun. I cannot recommend this enough. Her family is warm and delightful and her home is lovely and welcoming. It was a blast

Maria was a fantastic host!! We learn a lot about Moroccan cooking and our food turned out great. She is a great teacher and cook. It was so nice to sit in her traditional Moroccan room to eat! It was very impressive. I would highly recommend arranging your transportation through her as it was super easy.

We couldn’t have been happier with our evening with Chamsi and her family. At my request, she put together a fabulous vegan feast that we cooked together in her lovely kitchen. With her husband, son and neighbors popping in and out we felt warmly welcomed and a part of a typical evening at their home. And the food! Wow. It was so much fun to assemble a vegetable Tajine and learn the traditional way to cook it. Every element of our meal was delicious! We are grateful to have had such a personal, delicious and delightful dinner with such a warm and interesting family.

I had a long layover in Casablanca, so I decided to try a cooking class with Maria before flying back to the US. And I am SOOOO glad that I did. Maria tailored the class to cook exactly what I requested, and then added a seasonal option to boot! She's a warm, wonderful woman with a beautiful setup and I felt comfortable and confident cooking with her. Will definitely be making tagine at home! Thanks Maria.

Our experience with Chamsi and her family was wonderful. She made us feel so welcome. Together, under her supervision, we prepared several dishes of delicious foods that we enjoyed eating together. It was really a highlight of our trip to Morocco, and I would encourage anyone who is visiting Casablanca to book this experience. I'm sure you would love it as much as we did.
