Discover how we ensure a clean, safe, and memorable culinary experience for every guest.
1. Our Commitment to Safety
At Morocco Cooking Experiences, the health, safety, and comfort of our guests and culinary staff are our top priorities. We strictly adhere to local food safety standards and international hygiene best practices throughout every step of our cooking classes—from market selection to table service.
Kitchen Sanitation
All kitchen surfaces, cooking utensils, cutting boards, and dining tables are thoroughly sanitized before and after every experience using food-safe disinfectants.
Personal Hygiene
Hand-washing stations and hand sanitizers are readily available. All guests and staff are required to wash hands thoroughly prior to handling food and equipment.
Fresh Ingredient Sourcing
Ingredients are carefully selected daily from vetted local producers and traditional souks, ensuring peak freshness, quality, and strict temperature control.
Allergy & Dietary Protection
Dedicated tools and separate prep stations are utilized when preparing special meals to prevent cross-contamination for allergy sufferers or strict diets.
2. Kitchen & Culinary Tool Guidelines
To ensure a safe hands-on environment for all skill levels, we enforce the following safety procedures during prep and cooking:
- Briefing: Every session begins with a mandatory safety briefing on utensil handling, gas burner operation, and knife safety.
- Cooking Gear: Aprons and protective wear are washed and disinfected after every session.
- Child Safety: Children under 12 must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times, especially near hot tagines, stoves, or sharp tools.
3. Food Allergies & Special Dietary Needs
We cater to a wide range of dietary needs (Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Halal, etc.). To ensure your meal is prepared safely:
- Please notify us of any severe allergies or medical food restrictions at least 24 hours before your experience.
- If you carry emergency medication (such as an Epipen), please bring it with you and inform your host upon arrival.
4. Guided Souk Walk Precautions
For classes that include our signature souk tour:
- Groups remain together with their designated guide to ensure a comfortable and safe stroll through the medina markets.
- We advise guests to wear comfortable, non-slip footwear suitable for walking on traditional stone pathways.
5. Health Declarations & Attendance
To safeguard the well-being of all participants, guests or instructors experiencing symptoms of contagious illness (such as fever, cough, or flu-like symptoms) are asked not to attend. Contact us immediately to discuss flexible rescheduling options.
