What To Expect

Learn to prepare a Moroccan meal with Chamsi in her beautiful open-space kitchen. Be ready to roll up your sleeves and help prepare an authentic Moroccan meal. You’ll cook together for about an hour before sitting down to enjoy the dishes you helped prepare. Some preparation for your meal might be done in advance. You will conclude your meal with a dessert such as milk pastilla, oranges with cinnamon or Moroccan cookies.
