Upon arrival, we will visit a souk to gather fresh ingredients. After shopping, we'll proceed to a local house with an authentic Amazigh kitchen equipped with traditional utensils. Two local women will guide us in making Amazigh flatbread, from grinding barley to baking, and we will also prepare couscous in a clay pot. The session will cover essential ingredients for vegetable and goat meat tajin enhanced with olive oil and Moroccan spices.
