Full description
Our Taghazout cooking class begins with the aroma of toasted cumin and fresh cilantro wafting toward you even before you reach the outdoor space. Located about 20 kilometers north of Agadir, Taghazout Beach provides the perfect setting for a hands-on experience: you’ll leave with new skills, not just a souvenir. Our local chefs tailor the pace and techniques to your skill level.
On the agenda: a 3-hour Taghazout cooking class
The session is divided into two parts, centered around a tagine chosen in advance via message so our chefs can select the best fresh ingredients before your arrival.
First hour and a half: guided preparation of the tagine (chermoula, spice measurements, assembly)
30- to 40-minute break while the dish slow-cooks: a walk on the beach or mint tea
Dinner at sunset, shared on the sand facing the Atlantic
Choice of tagine: chicken with olives, lamb with prunes, vegetables, or fish of the day
Cuisine of the Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Our chefs share recipes from Morocco’s Atlantic coast: southern spices, cumin, ras el hanout, and Taliouine saffron, paired with fresh fish and seasonal vegetables. The Taghazout tagine stands out for its coastal ingredients combined with fresh herbs from the market. Our chefs demonstrate techniques, correct your movements as you perform them, and adjust the spices with you.
Who is this Taghazout cooking class for?
The class is suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to enthusiasts. It takes place outdoors on the beach and is accessible to everyone except those with limited mobility (unpaved sand). Please note any dietary restrictions when booking-vegetarian, common allergies-and the menu can be adjusted accordingly.

Tip from the team
Wear loose-fitting clothing and shoes that are easy to take off for the sand. The evening sea breeze can get chilly: a light layer is helpful, especially outside of summer. If you’d like to extend the experience indoors, our cooking classes in Agadir Kasbah offer a complementary format that includes a market tour.
