Marrakesh Small-Group Home Cooking Class in a Chichaoua Village

Your experience

Join a 3.5-hour home cooking session with Saida in Azib Ben Sliman, ending with a shared meal of the dishes you prepare.

Getting started

Arrive independently at Saida's family home in the village of Azib Ben Sliman, located in the Chichaoua area. After a brief introduction in your chosen language, you step into her real family kitchen, not a demonstration space. Once aprons are on and utensils are laid out, you begin preparing traditional recipes together.

What to expect

Saida's family kitchen in Azib Ben Sliman

This home cooking class takes place entirely inside Saida's own kitchen in the village of Azib Ben Sliman, with very small groups of no more than 6 guests. Over three and a half hours, you move from hands-on preparation to cooking and finally to a shared table.

Features

• Learn step by step how to bake bread on the hearth, then build a tagine from scratch, working with all the ingredients provided and using the same equipment Saida uses every day.
• Take part in a 3.5-hour home cooking session with Saida, with guidance in Arabic, Darija, or French in a small-group setting, so there is time to ask questions and refine each technique.
• Sit down for a shared meal of the dishes you have cooked, with the meal you prepare served at the table so you can taste each element you helped create.
• Enjoy mint tea and drinking water included throughout the experience, along with all ingredients, utensils, and aprons, plus a souvenir photo from your cooking class to remember your time in Azib Ben Sliman.

Wrapping up

When the meal and conversation wind down, Saida presents your souvenir photo from the cooking class, then you depart from Azib Ben Sliman on your own, since transport to and from the village is not included.
