Enjoy a private and authentic market tour and cooking class in a local Casablanca home with your host Maria. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. You will be picked up from your Casablanca hotel and driven to the local market where you will discover regional Moroccan produce and spices. After your market tour, Maria will drive you to her luxurious home for your cooking class in her kitchen. Here, you will learn to cook 2-3 traditional Moroccan dishes from Maria's family recipes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together. Growing up in a large Moroccan family required you to help around in the kitchen, and that is how Maria learned to cook. She fondly remembers her grandmother teaching her family recipes and classics like lamb tagine with cardoon during Maria's school vacation. Maria recently retired and uses her time to pursue her passion for cooking and sharing her culture and cuisine with guests from all over the world.

Our evening with Maria was an absolutely incredible opportunity. The market experience, the door to door transportation, and most of all being a guest in her home - all fabulous! 100% sign up !!!

Maria picked us up at our hotel and gave us an informative drive to her home.
We spent over an hour helping prepare a wonderful and varied meal.
We then ate the dinner together and were made to feel most welcome.
Took home recipes and had a chance to buy ingredients at a local market.

We had received a very welcoming email from Maria with information about our upcoming cooking lesson, and we were so looking forward to it. But our party of 4 never made it to Casablanca to cook with Maria. So I cannot honestly attest to the quality of the cooking/market experience. We were forced to cancel at the last minute because Morocco closed all air travel from Spain due to the coronavirus. Subsequently out entire Morocco trip was cancelled. When I cancelled the cooking lesson online, I received an automated notice reminding me that a refund was not possible at this late time. When I got home, I contacted Traveling Spoon and in less than 24 hours received a gracious note from the co-owner Aashi, apologizing for the mixup and giving us a full refund. I appreciate Traveling Spoon's willingness to be flexible about their policy. Particularly since their business must be suffering during this worldwide pandemic. We look forward to traveling in the future and will definitely book with Traveling Spoon
