We will collect you from where you’re staying, and then initiate our day with a vibrant excursion to a local marketplace tucked away in the dynamic Fes Medina. There, we will gather all the necessary components we will later utilise to craft an authentic Moroccan feast during our engaging cooking class. The butcher stalls will offer a selection of fresh meats including beef, chicken, and lamb, while the greengrocer stands boast high-quality vegetables at astoundingly affordable rates, and the fruit vendors showcase an explosion of colors and tastes. Meanwhile, the spice sellers display an assortment of aromatic seasonings required to concoct savory dishes, featuring exotic yellow saffron, fiery red paprika, aromatic yellow cumin, warm orange-brown ginger, brilliant turmeric yellows, pitch-black pepper powders, earthy cinnamon sticks or ground powder, and pure white Moroccan salt, creating a barrage of sensatory delights! Once we finish our marketplace adventure, your guide will lead you to a quintessential Moroccan cookhouse.
