Street food after dark
Rolling msemen with the host family Overview
A recipe you take home in your hands
This is not a cooking show — it's a morning in a real Fassi household. You'll pick vegetables and spices in the souk with your host, learn why saffron is weighed like gold, then tie on an apron and build a tagine from the bottom up.
While it simmers, you'll bake bread the neighborhood way and pour your first proper mint tea. Lunch is served on the family rooftop, overlooking the Medina you just shopped in.
