Discover Morocco through its food traditions

Morocco captivates with vivid colours, striking contrasts and aromas that evoke a place full of mystery. Often described as the queen of Africa, it has a culinary heritage passed down through generations. This class invites you to explore that heritage by making the food yourself, rather than simply tasting the finished dishes.

Working with Chef Nemigenchev, you will prepare recipes inspired by long-established Moroccan traditions. You will explore the role of distinctive spices and discover how carefully chosen ingredients bring sweet, savoury, fresh and spicy flavours into balance. If you enjoy unexpected combinations and want to broaden your cooking repertoire, this is a chance to investigate them hands-on.

What you will cook

• Moroccan salad with green pepper, tomato and pear. This fresh starter brings together juicy tomato, the pepper’s gentle bite and the delicate sweetness of pear. You will discover how these contrasting ingredients complement one another in an unexpected combination.
• M’semen bread, also known as Rgaif. This traditional Moroccan flatbread is made in layers, with a golden, crisp exterior and a soft centre. You will explore the folding technique that gives it its distinctive appearance and learn how the dough is handled to achieve its characteristic texture.
• Lamb and saffron tagine. One of Morocco’s best-known dishes is prepared in its distinctive ceramic cooking vessel. The lamb cooks slowly with fragrant saffron, dried fruit and selected spices, developing a rich flavour with plenty of depth.
• Milk bastilla. This delicate Moroccan dessert combines crisp pastry sheets with a smooth milk cream and a subtle orange blossom fragrance. A dusting of icing sugar and cinnamon completes the contrast between the creamy filling and crisp layers.
• Hummus. You will make a smooth blend of chickpeas, sesame tahini, olive oil and lemon juice. This classic combination lends itself to many variations, and the class covers how to achieve a silky consistency and a well-balanced flavour each time you make it.
• Hollandaise sauce. Although it is not traditionally Moroccan, this sauce features in the programme as an additional culinary element. You will work with the velvety combination of butter, egg yolks and lemon that can bring a refined finishing touch to your dishes.

A hands-on class, not just a demonstration

Every participant takes an active part in the cooking. Rather than only watching recipes being demonstrated, you will join in the work and carry out tasks assigned by the chef. The format reflects a real working kitchen, including its pace and practical demands.

The class is recommended if you have an interest in cooking and are ready to follow the chef’s instructions throughout the session. The scheduled duration is 4 hours, but the actual running time depends on the group’s pace. The class may therefore finish later than advertised.

Tasting your dishes and enjoying a drink

Once the cooking is complete and the dishes are ready, you will taste what you have made alongside the other participants. An alcoholic drink is served at the end of the class during this tasting. No alcohol is served while the cooking is underway, helping everyone stay focused and maintaining a safe kitchen environment.
