Our Marrakech cooking class gives you the opportunity to experience first hand a slice of life in the vibrant Marrakech medina. We will visit the local communal baker's oven and the local farmers market. Back at the riad you'll discover the unique flavours of Moroccan cooking while learning about the Moroccan way of life - Karima and Hassan are a fabulous and fun team.

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.

Wonderful cooking class

The class was the highlight of our trip. We visited the markets where the locals shop, saw the community bread oven and learned about life in the Medina in Marrakesh. The cooking class was wonderful and organized. We enjoyed our fabulous meal on the rooftop terrace.

One of our favourite experiences in Marrakech

Wow, what an amazing experience! We had a blast, and the meal we made was the best we’ve had in Morocco so far. We were lucky to have a diverse group cooking chicken, lamb, and meatball tagines, along with delicious side dishes and fresh, flavorful desserts. The lunch was served on the rooftop, and it was absolutely wonderful—full of vibrant flavors and simply delicious! There were a few minor things that could be improved. The tour description said we’d get to walk through the market and see ...read more

This particular class started late simply because we were waiting for four other participants to arrive. No fault at all of the staff, who were patient and gracious in accommodating the late arrivals. Because of the late arrivals it was necessary to start the cooking element of the class straightaway, and the tour of the bread oven, hammam and local market was offered after lunch but was declined by all participants. We usually teach one tagine, but for this class, the six participants requested to prepare three different tagines, and not wanting to disappoint, we agreed, so the class took longer than normal. The plus side was that everyone enjoyed the lunch all the more. Hassan has been translating the class for over 10 years, and he does so adeptly and with finesse. If something wasn't translated it was because he deemed it not relevant to share with the whole group. In any event, we provide recipes for all dishes with comprehensive instructions.

A fabulous experience.

We had the most wonderful time at Riad Dar Zaman and were well looked after by Humza and Karima. The local tour gave a real insight into how the neighbourhood works and functions. The cooking class was excellent, Karima shared some great tips and lunch was enjoyed on the beautiful terrace. Can’t recommend enough.

The real taste of Marrakech!

The food we prepared and cooked was definitely the best we had during our stay in the city! Karima and Hassane were passionate about their cooking and showed us some of the little techniques that transform "good" into "excellent"! Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience
