About This Tour
Learn to cook authentic Moroccan cuisine in the world's most extraordinary kitchen — a traditional home in the heart of the Fez medina.
Begin with your chef guide in the Al-Attarine spice souk — learning to identify saffron, ras el hanout, preserved lemons and the 40+ spices that define Fassi (Fez) cuisine, which is considered the most refined in all of Morocco.
Then into a traditional medina home for 3 hours of hands-on cooking: slow-cooked lamb tagine with preserved lemon and olives, Fassi bastilla (the extraordinary sweet-savoury pigeon pastry unique to Fez), and traditional Moroccan salads. Then sit down and eat everything you made.
Fassi cuisine is universally considered Morocco's finest — more complex, more layered and more historically influenced than Marrakech cooking. This class is the most direct way to understand it.
