ABOUT MOROCCO
The Kingdom of Morocco is located in the northwestern part of the African continent, adjacent to the southern coast of the Strait of Gibraltar and serving as a gateway from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. This land has historically been a melting pot of diverse cultures, including Berber descendants, Arabs, Jews, and Western European influences. Morocco is renowned for its multiculturalism and pleasant climate, earning it the nicknames “Cool Land under the Scorching Sun” and the “Garden of North Africa.”
Former King Hassan II vividly described Morocco as “a tree rooted in Africa but with leaves breathing European air,” highlighting the country’s characteristic blend of cultures that runs through its history and modern society.
Morocco’s fields of art and culture thrive, encompassing painting, sculpture, pop music, amateur theater, and film production. The nation boasts several impressive cities, including the four imperial cities of Fez, Marrakech, Meknes, and Rabat. Additionally, Morocco is home to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Seville and the famous “Blue City” of Chefchaouen, both brimming with unique cultural and architectural charm.
It’s worth noting that Morocco’s stunning landscapes and enchanting ambiance have also attracted many film productions, including the iconic film “Casablanca.”
Morocco is a breathtaking country that combines diverse cultures, natural beauty, and artistic creativity, offering visitors rich opportunities for exploration and adventure.
ABOUT TAGINE
In Morocco, every household owns at least one tajine pot, with many even having large tajine pots that can serve up to 10 people.
Tajine (طاجين) is a dish originating from North Africa, especially prevalent and emblematic in Morocco. The word “tajine” is derived from the Berber language, referring to the distinctive cone-shaped clay pot.
The cooking vessel for tajine is crafted from red clay, typically consisting of two red clay base pieces and a conical-shaped lid. This design is not only unique but also highly practical. It reflects the wisdom of ancient times, allowing for the preparation of delicious dishes even in high-altitude, water-scarce environments.
The origins of tajine can be traced back to the Berber people, and it is a generic term used to describe both the distinctive cooking container and the dishes prepared within it. In Morocco, particularly in the city of Tafraout, these tajines are handcrafted in a traditional manner, carrying a deep cultural background and historical significance.

體驗製作和專業料理課程的差別：
體驗製作活動著重於「與當地人或主講者的交流」，以及「大家一起準備餐桌的氛圍」。
就像和當地人一起在家中準備當天的晚餐一樣，每個人會分工準備，但我們並「不特別強調料理的學習」。
這與專業料理課程有所不同，專業課程更注重教導料理的製作技巧。如果您對學習如何製作異國料理有興趣，我們也有其他的料理課程供您選擇，或者您也可以隨時與我們聯絡！
What’s the difference between “Hands-on Experience” and a “Professional Cooking Class”?
In our hands-on experience events, the focus is on “interacting with local people or instructors” and creating a warm atmosphere of “preparing the table together.”
It’s similar to preparing a dinner with locals in their homes, where each person has different tasks, but we “do not specifically emphasize learning cooking skills.”
This is different from a professional cooking class, which places more emphasis on teaching the techniques of cooking. If you are interested in learning how to cook international cuisine, we have other cooking classes available for you to choose from, or you can always contact us anytime!”
場地狀況說明 Venue condition
體驗製作活動主要著重於讓參與者深入體驗當地文化，品嚐特色的異國美食。因此，現場並沒有像專業料理課程那樣的專業廚房，還請見諒。
The experiential cooking activity focuses primarily on providing participants with an immersive experience of local culture and the taste of unique international cuisines. Therefore, please understand that the venue does not have a professional kitchen like in a culinary course.
