Casablanca Cooking Class and Food Tour

The Casablanca Cooking Class and Food Tour is a five-hour food experience in Casablanca, Morocco, run by MarocMama and bookable through marocmama.com. It combines a market visit with a hands-on Moroccan cooking class and a meal, taking place in central Casablanca; the exact meeting point is confirmed at booking rather than published in advance. The experience begins with a visit to a local market, where participants see and select fresh produce, spices, olives and bread that are staples of Moroccan home cooking. The group then moves to the kitchen for a hands-on class in which participants prepare dishes themselves, and the session ends with a shared meal of what was cooked. The cuisine is Moroccan home cooking, so the menu tends toward savoury dishes such as tagines, couscous and salads, with tea or a sweet finish typical of a Moroccan table; the specific dishes and number of courses are set by the operator and confirmed at booking. Listed inclusions are the market visit, the hands-on class and the meal. Transport to the meeting point, extra drinks and gratuities should be checked with the operator, and pricing is displayed on marocmama.com rather than fixed here. The pace is slower than a street-food walk, since most of the time is spent cooking and eating, which suits families, couples and visitors who want to take recipes home. Group size, language of instruction and dietary substitutions, including vegetarian and allergy needs, should be confirmed when booking, as these vary by date. The experience runs year-round and is rated about 4.6 out of 5. Because it centres on a kitchen, it offers a relaxed alternative to sightseeing days in a city better known for the Hassan II Mosque and its Art Deco downtown.
