This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. You will meet Khmisa and Kawtar, a mother-daughter duo, outside the main gate of Bab Doukkala Mosque in Marrakech which is a short walk going to Old Souk Market. At the souk you will witness the hustle and bustle - locals buying groceries, the smell of spices used in Moroccan cuisine, interactions with vendors etc. You will buy fresh vegetables and spices for your cooking class, before walking back to the riad for your cooking class. Finally, Join Khmisa and Kawtar in the kitchen to prepare their favorite family recipes in a hands-on cooking class. You’ll cook together for about 1.5 hours, and will learn to make three authentic Moroccan dishes, a starter, a main dish and a dessert, before sitting down at the dining table to enjoy the dishes you helped prepare.
