    Back in October, during a four month stay in Rabat with three of my friends, we had one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. A cooking class with the sweetest local family who welcomed us into their home like old friends. The experience started with making amlou (Moroccan peanut butter), the traditional Amazigh way. The mother showed us the exact techniques she had learned growing up, and we even used the traditional stone grinder to make it from scratch. It was such a special moment to learn from her directly, with so much care and love behind every step. The father then joined in and taught us how to make Moroccan tea properly, the way it should be done. He explained each part of the process, like washing the tea leaves first, and watching him pour the tea was practically an art form. You could tell he took pride in sharing this with us. Before the class, they had actually asked us what we wanted to cook which already says a lot about how thoughtful they are. Since we’d been living in Rabat for a while but somehow had never tried Rfissa, we asked if we could learn that. When we arrived, everything was ready to go, and the mom took the time to show us how to make the entire dish from scratch, including the msemmen, which we’d seen so many times but never made ourselves. And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, at the end she surprised us by bringing out traditional clothes and jewelry for us to try on. It was such a fun way to end the day, laughing together, taking photos, and feeling like we had been part of something truly special. This wasn’t just a cooking class, it was a memory I’ll always carry with me. If you ever get the chance to meet this family and learn from them, don’t hesitate. It’s one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave.

    During our stay in Rabat we decided to dedicate half a day to an experience that we highly recommend if you want to immerse yourself in the Moroccan atmosphere. In the morning, before meeting, we were asked what we wanted to cook as a main course. We chose vegetarian couscous and they were very willing to accommodate our request. During the afternoon, Anouar and his family welcomed us warmly in their house and made us feel as if we were a part of their family. First, we prepared the Amlou cream using the typical Amazigh tool. Then the father taught us all the secrets to prepare the perfect Moroccan tea and the mother gave us all the tricks to make the best couscous. We were also very lucky to see how the Amazigh bread is prepared and cooked on a wood-fired oven. At the end of the dinner we were also able to try the typical Amazigh clothes. It was all delicious and it was really nice to spend an afternoon in their company drinking tea (and also coffee 😂), exchanging recipes of Italian and Moroccan cuisine and chatting a bit about the various cultural specialties. Anouar and his friend who run the service are really nice and kind, they are able to involve you and make you feel at ease. I absolutely recommend you to do this experience with them, it is worth it and the price is also very convenient.
