TASTE OF THE SOUK – MOROCCAN COOKING CLASS

In the labyrinth of Marrakech, the colors of the souk are not seen, they are felt

A universe of spices, fruits, and crafts that awaken the senses before a steaming pot even does. To understand the history and symbolic richness of these traditional markets, you can explore more about the souk in Arab culture.

The souk—the traditional Moroccan market—is a beating heart between alleys scented with saffron, cumin, and turmeric. Black olives and dates gleam in the golden light, teapots sparkle, and artisans work wood, leather, and ceramics with ancient patience.

Then, in a traditional kitchen with zellige floors and carved lattices, the chef invites you to prepare tagines, couscous, and pastries. Citrus fruits are peeled, spices are mixed, and secrets of Moroccan homes are discussed. The steam fills the air with mystery, and every spoonful is a story of Berbers and kings.

Food is served on shared plates, breaking down customs and taboos. Because in Marrakech, cooking isn't just about preparing food: it's about invoking an entire community.

Cooking in Morocco is a journey to the essence of the senses.
