Moroccan Berber cuisine, a blend of Arab, Berber, Jewish, African, and French influences, is highly acclaimed and promotes a nutritious diet. Thanks to its favorable year-round climate and efficient irrigation, Morocco produces a plethora of fresh, local produce. This bounty is ingeniously combined with an array of spices, herbs, and oils to create a unique array of delicious dishes such as Tajines, Couscous, Salads, and flatbreads.
An immersive cooking class in the High Atlas Mountains, conducted by an authentic Berber family, allows participants to delve into the local culinary traditions hands-on. This involves everything from acquiring the ingredients at the Weekly Berber market to savoring the dishes you prepared against the backdrop of a stunning mountain landscape and verdant valley.
Participants join a genuine Berber family in their home, where the cooking class is led by the family’s matriarch, Malika. Equipped with culinary knowledge handed down through generations, Malika masterfully prepares traditional Berber dishes, while an English-speaking guide provides translation.
