2024 Culinary and Cultural Tour to Morocco

Join us in getting to the heart of Moroccan culture through an exploration of its tantalizing cuisine. We will discover the secrets of Moroccan dishes by watching renowned chefs prepare classic creations such as stew-like tagines; hearty, well-spiced soups; salads of raw or cooked vegetables in flavorful olive oil dressings; savory and sweet pastry delights; and signature dishes such as bestila, which is made with almost translucent pastry sheets, and the classic Berber couscous.

Also included will be talks on culinary topics and visits to bustling markets to learn about the herbs, spices, and condiments that are prevalent in Moroccan cookery. We will also see the major tourist sights, yet still have time to shop and relax along the way.
