OMG, what an incredible, authentic experience cooking with Souad and her family.

We started by going to the market to pick out the fresh ingredients for our meal... read more of lamb tagine with apricots & prunes, homemade bread, Moroccan salad, a beet smoothie, and 4 traditional side dishes (aubergine, carrots, peppers, and sweet potatoes). The meat was definitely “fresh. ” Such a fun and colourful experience.

Next, Souad, took us to her mother & sister-in-law’s home in the ancient medina. Despite little or no English, they helped us chop, slice, peel, boil, cut, shred, grill, juice, knead, and pressure cook everything we needed for the next several hours. We used a lot of spices including cumin, tuneric, garlic, ginger, saffron, preserved lemons and the magical elixir called “44 spice” blend. I took lots of notes and photos since no English meant no written recipes - and our expert chefs measured more by experience & love, than cups or tablespoons.

We made some homemade bread, and when it had risen enough, we walked our tray of loaves through the market to the community oven to bake. So cool!

When the bread was ready we walked it home and enjoyed our feast. SO YUMMY and beautifully & artfully plated!!!!!

Such an amazing adventure and definitely a real slice of life of many Moroccan women’s daily life. Definitely a highlight of our 3 week stay in Morocco.

  Day trip Chefchaouen - Nice day tour to Chefchaouen with very good driver Nasser. Felt very safe and was very friendly. Recommended!

  What a great day! First stop was Marocan Switzerland. Weirdly European place, good to stretch the legs and drink coffee. Not that special but it gets you from the city... read more vibes to the countryside. After we went to see monkeys and had a fantastic horseback ride in the Middle-Atlas. What a magnificent place! Our driver Yassine was friendly and fun to be with. All in all a fantastic day and dito experience!
