Workshops · Ourika
A cooking class in a Berber home
Bread you carry to the village oven and a tagine you build yourself.
An hour south of the city the Ourika valley narrows and the houses go pisé and flat-roofed. You are cooking in one of them, with the family who lives there.
The morning starts with what came up from the garden: courgette, broad beans, coriander, mint. You learn to fold khobz and carry it to the neighborhood oven, then build a tagine from the bottom up, oil and onion first, and find out why the cone matters. While it cooks you sit on the terrace with tea and almonds.
Lunch is what you made. Four hours, no rush, and the drive back is downhill. Children who like using their hands do well here.
