Khmisa's Kitchen in the Medina, and the Old Souk First

Khmisa Workshops has more than thirty years of Moroccan cooking behind it, and the class is still held where it started: Khmisa's own house, in the heart of the Medina. That is the difference. This is somebody's kitchen, and the atmosphere is a family one rather than a school one.

It starts at the souk. You walk the local market and food stalls with the chef to buy what the meal needs, which is an education in itself: what she picks, what she rejects, what she pays.

Back at the house there is a mint tea ceremony before anyone cooks. Then the work, a starter, a main and a dessert, made alongside her. Menus can be adapted to dietary restrictions and allergies.

A guide trained in hospitality and tourism stays with you throughout and handles the translation, so nothing gets lost between you and the chef.

Then you sit down and eat what you made.

Three hours. Up to twelve people, in English, French or Arabic, with the chef, the guide, lunch and tea or coffee.

Hotel pick-up is not included.
