Start cooking
After enjoying the tea, you'll begin cooking under the guidance of our chef, Hassan. He'll serve as your instructor, but you'll handle everything—from peeling and cutting to seasoning your tagines and other dishes. This portion of the class requires the most time and effort. You'll typically start with the dishes that need longer to cook and then move on to those that take less time. Naturally, everyone will be involved throughout the entire cooking class.
