About this Fez cooking class

Your day starts in a working Fez market, choosing the day's produce with your host. You'll learn why saffron is weighed like gold, which olives belong in which dish, and how to spot the freshest herbs before anyone else does.

Then it's into a real family kitchen: build a tagine from the bottom up, knead bread for the neighborhood oven, and pour your first proper mint tea. Lunch is served on the rooftop, looking out over the medina you just shopped in.
