The Vegetarian Half-Day Cooking Class in Chefchaouen is a meat-free Moroccan cooking experience in the medina of Chefchaouen, in the Rif mountains of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region of northern Morocco. It is listed on Expedia (expedia.com), and the meeting point is sent at booking on the listing platform. The listing does not name a separate underlying operator or say how long the class has been running, so none is given here. The class is a half-day session that begins with a market visit, where participants see and choose the vegetables, herbs and spices used in Chefchaouen home cooking. The group then moves to a kitchen to prepare vegetarian Moroccan dishes, which typically draw on seasonal vegetables, legumes, bread and spice blends, and the experience ends with lunch made up of the dishes cooked. The exact menu is not specified in the listing and may vary by season and availability. The balance is mainly savoury, with mint tea or a simple sweet item commonly served at the end of a Moroccan meal. The price is about 428 MAD ($46) per person and includes the market visit, the cooking class and lunch. Transport to the medina, extra drinks and tips are not described as included. Group size and language are not stated in the listing, so visitors should check the Expedia page for the language of instruction and the maximum number of participants. Because the class is entirely vegetarian, it suits vegetarians and many vegans, though guests who avoid dairy, eggs or honey, or who have allergies, should contact the platform or host before booking to confirm what can be adjusted. The pace is relaxed and hands-on, with time for questions. Chefchaouen's lanes are steep and stepped, so comfortable shoes are important for the market walk, and an apron or old clothes are sensible for cooking. The class runs year-round, and the market is at its busiest in the morning.
