The morning, in four moments
- At the market
We choose what we are going to cook, counter by counter.
- On the way
We travel together to the kitchen for that day.
- In the kitchen
You wash and chop the vegetables, roll the tagine's sardine balls, season as you go and watch it cook, with the host beside you.
- At the table
We sit down and eat what you made, with mint tea.
A typical menu includes…
- Moroccan mint tea
- Tomato and cucumber salad
- Sardine-ball tagine, as one example rather than a fixed choice
- Bread
- Carrot and orange dessert
The kitchen can vary from date to date, and so can the dishes.

Practical details
We meet at the market. We cook in a family home, in the old medina or in Habous, and the morning finishes at that table. I tell you the neighbourhood before we confirm, and send the exact meeting point once your booking is confirmed.
We walk or take arranged transport from the market to our host's home, depending on the confirmed route.
Expect market walking at an easy pace, some standing while we shop and cook, and stairs at some host kitchens. Tell me about access needs and I will confirm what is possible for your date.
Tell me any dietary requirement when you enquire. We agree the menu and whether the morning suits you before I accept a booking, because we cook in a home kitchen.
A 30% deposit by PayPal or bank transfer confirms the date once we have agreed everything. The balance is settled on the day. If you pay by PayPal we agree the invoice amount in a supported currency first.
