Marrakech, Morocco – June 24, 2025 – Marrakech Budget Tours is thrilled to announce the launch of its authentic Tagine Cooking Class in the heart of Marrakech, offering food enthusiasts, travelers, and local gourmands an unforgettable culinary journey through Morocco’s most celebrated dish.

Held daily in the vibrant Medina district, this hands-on cooking experience allows participants—whether seasoned chefs or novice home cooks—to master the art of preparing a traditional Moroccan tagine. From selecting fresh spices at the souk to savoring the final, steaming masterpiece, guests will immerse themselves in each step of this cultural and gastronomic ritual.

Highlights of the Tagine Cooking Class:

• Market Tour & Ingredient Sourcing: Begin with a guided stroll through nearby souks, learning how to pick the finest meats, vegetables, and spices—from preserved lemons to saffron and ras el hanout. Our knowledgeable guides share insights into local ingredients and Moroccan culinary heritage.
• Hands-On Cooking Session: Back in a traditional riad kitchen or charming family-run atelier, guests are invited to wash, chop, and season under the expert eye of our local chef-instructor. Each step—from browning meat to layering flavors in the iconic conical clay pot—is guided with care and cultural context.
• Tagine Preparation & Cooking Techniques: Learn Moroccan techniques such as layering ingredients to build depth of flavor, simmering over charcoal, and achieving the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and aromatic notes.
• Shared Meal & Cultural Exchange: Once the tagine is ready, the class sits down together to enjoy the dish, accompanied by freshly baked khobz (Moroccan bread), mint tea, and engaging stories about Moroccan family customs and culinary traditions.
• Take-Home Culture: Participants leave with printed recipe cards, a list of local vendors for unique spices, and the confidence to recreate complex Moroccan dishes at home.
