Amal Targa Centre Cooking Classes

Marrakech, Moroccan home cooking. For your tagine lesson, head out to a garden kitchen where the fee does some good. Amal is a non-profit that trains women in its kitchens and helps them into work, and its classes help pay for that training. At the Targa centre you choose your dish when you book: a tagine, or couscous or pastilla for a little more. The morning starts with your teacher and the spice box, moves on to building the tagine or folding the pastry yourself, and ends with eating everything you made, with a traditional tea ceremony along the way. The recipes come home with you. Classes run weekday mornings from 9:30, and a shorter baking class covers msemmen flatbreads and ghriba cookies if you would rather bake.
