Cooking Class with Market

Moroccan Cooking Class with Market (Souk) Visit and Meal

Bab Ksour, Rue Fatima Zohra, down the street, there are many small cafes serving the basic Moroccan breakfast, broad bean soup (bisara), tea and msemen, bread stuffed with herbs, spices and lamb fat. You may find a donut stall. Mint tea is always served. It is very rare for Moroccans to have coffee for breakfast.

This is a new trend that came from France. That is why you will see people drinking a good coffee before going to their activities, in a very clean and modern building. Continue to Riad Larousse. Here you can see a traditional oven. It is only in charge of baking bread for the neighbors. You cannot buy bread unless you are offered a cake. Each family tries to leave him a cake as a tip.

Inside the oven, a deep hole, there is a man with his face blackened by smoke and ash, who is trying to fill a small pot covered with paper to protect the ingredients. He constantly checks to make sure it does not burn, otherwise he will upset his customers.

It would be a shame if the tanjia wasn’t good, not tasty (miam). Vegetable and fruit market, olive tasting. We sip mint tea on the terrace and sample pastries, then reach the Meshoui section, where professional chefs show us how to prepare 12 lamb, steam cooked for five hours in underground pits.
