Description
Good to Know
Meet your host Manuela and walk together to the Mellah market, a beautiful old market in a Jewish area of Marrakech bustling with activity. It is a major source of spices, food, meat, flowers and other goods. Manuela will talk about Morocco’s rich history while you walk around and buy a few ingredients for your cooking class.
Back at Manuela's riad, you will learn to make a traditional Moroccan appetizer, main dish and dessert in a hands-on cooking class with Aicha. Manuela's riad is traditionally decorated with Moroccan arts and crafts and has a beautiful garden area and terrace. Possible dished you might learn are a starter of briouat (a sweet or savory puff pastry) or zaalouk (salad of cooked aubergine and tomatoes), a traditional tajine (which can be vegetarian or meat or fish-based) or pastilla (Moroccan meat pie), and a traditional Moroccan dessert like cigars with cinnamon and apples or briouate chocolat.

Manuela is originally Italian and has been a part of the travel industry for many years. She moved to Morocco with her family and bought a beautiful riad (a traditional Moroccan-style home built around an open courtyard) in an old Jewish neighborhood.
Aicha is the chef at the riad and hosts together with Manuela. Aicha comes from a traditional Moroccan family and learned to cook from her mother and grandmother from scratch using only fresh and local ingredients. Aicha only speaks Moroccan and Manuela will help translate.
Notes: Manuela can offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and halal meals on request. The riad is also used as a guest house, so you might see other guests during your experience. However, your experience will remain private.
Please meet Manuela at the riad then you will walk together to the Mellah Market. Please check the 'Before you go' section on your voucher for the exact address, the above only offers neighbourhood details, and not the exact address. That can be found in your ticket upon booking confirmation

Great Cooling Class and Market Tour!
We loved our cooking class and market tour with Manuela’s team. Monriad is lovely (worth a stay there too), the food was delicious, and we learned a lot about Morocco and its food. Would highly recommend!
