It's impossible to understand Moroccan cuisine without appreciating the importance of Tagine. Tagine has been part of Moroccan cuisine for hundreds of years - with the first archived recipes cooked 'tagine-style' dating back to the 9th century.  

Tagine is not only the iconic stew-like dish, but also the vessel it's cooked in. This beautiful clay or ceramic cookware has a flat bottom and an ornate dome top. It's extravagant presentation at its finest. But it's not just beautiful cookware... The unique shape of the tagine traps steam and returns the liquid back to the pot, resulting in minimal water use and tender, buttery meats and vegetables. The combination of high heat with moisture brings a slight caramelization to the food lucky enough to be inside. The end result is an incredibly flavorful meal filled with spices and an earthiness from the clay pot. 

In this Moroccan cooking class you'll master a traditionally prepared Tagine. You'll round out the meal with a gorgeous Taktouka salad. Taktouka is a cousin of Shakshuka which is a spicier and saucier version with eggs. Taktouka is zesty and fresh and will become a regular side dish in your kitchen. This along with Moroccan spiced olives, and the iconic Moroccan mint tea and you'll have transported to this incredible country for the day. 

Book a private virtual cooking class with a chef, who will video call you live from his home in Morocco.  Two and a half hours later, you'll have an experience you'll never forget. 

Important: While not required for this class, a Tagine is highly recommended to enjoy your cooking class to its fullest and to make your dish in the authentic way.
