What You’ll Experience

Our Marrakech cooking class gives you the opportunity to experience first hand a slice of life in the vibrant Marrakech medina. We keep the classes small – maximum group size is six – and the class is led by our chef Karima, and manager Hassan, who translates everything from French to English. The cooking class takes place in the courtyard of our riad. The class starts at 10h00 and lasts for approximately 4 hours, and includes a visit to the local communal oven (furan) where locals bake their homemade bread and biscuits, shopping at the local market – called a “souq” – where we buy all the fresh ingredients for the class, preparing an assortment of traditional Moroccan dishes – salads and a tagine -and finally eating all the delicious dishes you’ve prepared! We provide you with the recipe sheets so you can impress your friends and family back home. Once the salads are in the serving dishes and the tagine is slowly cooking, Karima will teach you how to make a simple yet delicious Moroccan dessert – Sliced Orange with Cinnamon. To top off the class, Hassan will demonstrate for you how to make delicious Moroccan mint tea.
