Description

Good to Know

Experience Moroccan culinary tradition at its finest inside the beautiful Riad Nelia. This hands-on cooking class is more than just a recipe — it's a complete cultural and gastronomic journey. With your dedicated chef guiding you every step of the way, you'll learn to prepare a classic chicken tajine from scratch: selecting and blending the perfect spice mix, marinating the ingredients, and mastering the slow-cooking technique that makes Moroccan cuisine so distinctive. You'll also discover the ritual of Moroccan mint tea — its preparation, history, and significance in daily Moroccan life. At the end of the session, sit down together at a beautifully laid table to enjoy the full meal you've created, complete with fresh bread, mint tea, and a traditional dessert. You'll leave with your recipe card, a certificate of completion, and the confidence to recreate authentic Moroccan flavors back home.

I had such an amazing experience at this cooking class! From start to finish, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. You could really feel the passion they have for what they do, and they made the entire experience feel so personal and enjoyable. 🤎 And the FOOD?! Absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I learned so much while also having a great time, laughing, and enjoying the whole experience.

Unmatched Tajine Class

If I could give this 6 stars I would! Hamza and the crew at Riad Niela were fantastic. A highlight of our trip in Morocco, learning the culinary history and cooking method for tajine. Food that we made was delicious and the group environment was very fun. Hamza was a great teacher, helped us personalize our recipes and went above and beyond to give us insight and recipes. He also helped us organize some other activities at the Riad as well. Can't reccomend this experience enough!

Super experience!

What an amazing experience! Good price-quality activity, with the most friendly hosts! The cooking class was well explained, tasty and all from fresh vegetables and spices. The place was really beautiful, situated in their Riad. Thank you to the whole team!
