Discover the Moroccan Cuisine: Tagine Cooking Class in Taghazout Bay

Our hikes often included a tagine break, which naturally led to many questions about spices, ingredients, and how a tagine is cooked. This growing curiosity inspired us to create a separate activity focused entirely on the cooking process.

And that’s how our Taghazout cooking classes began.

The class lasts around 3 to 4 hours. Together, we prepare a Traditional Tagine, with options such as Vegetarian Tagine or Chicken Tagine, depending on your preference. You’ll be guided step by step, learning how ingredients are prepared, how spices are combined, and how a tagine is slowly cooked to develop its flavor. We also take time to prepare Moroccan Mint Tea, an essential part of any meal and daily life in Morocco.

We focus on simple, fresh ingredients and explain how they are used in Moroccan home cooking. You’ll learn about common spices like cumin, saffron, and ras el hanout, when to use them, and how they change the taste of a dish. This is a small-group experience, with time to ask questions, cook at your own pace, and enjoy the process.

The class takes place near Taghazout, making it easy to combine with your stay by the coast. It’s a calm and welcoming environment, suitable for beginners, vegetarians, couples, families, and solo travelers.

At the end of the class, we sit down together to share the meal you’ve cooked, along with fresh mint tea. You’ll leave with practical cooking tips, clear recipes, and a better understanding of Moroccan food culture — things you can actually recreate at home.
