Cooking Class, Foodies and Highlights of Casablanca

Cooking Class, Foodies and Highlights of Casablanca is a private food and cooking experience in Casablanca, Morocco, listed on the Tours by Locals platform and hosted by a local guide named Ayoub S. The day starts in the Habous Quarter, the 1930s New Medina known for its arcaded streets, bakeries, spice sellers and food stalls, where the group visits the market to look at the ingredients used in Moroccan home cooking. The experience then moves to a family home for a hands-on cooking class, so the cooking takes place in a domestic kitchen rather than a commercial classroom. The total time is about five hours. The cuisine is Moroccan home cooking, which typically means savoury dishes such as tagines, couscous, salads and breads, with mint tea and sweets providing the sweeter side; the specific menu and number of dishes are agreed with the host and confirmed at booking. Listed inclusions are the Habous market visit and the cooking class in a family home. Hotel transport, drinks beyond the meal and gratuities should be confirmed with the operator, since only the market visit and class are named as included. The tour is private, with pricing that varies by group size and is shown at booking on toursbylocals.com. Because the group cooks and eats together, the pace is slower than a street-food walk, and participants usually finish with a shared meal of what they prepared. Language and dietary substitutions, including vegetarian, halal-neutral or allergy needs, should be arranged with the host before the day. The experience runs year-round and is rated about 4.7 out of 5, one of the higher scores among Casablanca food experiences. It suits couples, families and travellers who want to learn recipes to repeat at home as well as sample local flavours.
