Activity Description
Cook like a Moroccan with this half-day cooking class in Marrakech. Improve your culinary skills by learning to cook authentically and tasting all the dishes prepared during the class.

Join our 4-hour cooking class in Marrakech for a unique experience that will enrich your culinary skills while introducing you to Moroccan gastronomic traditions. We'll begin with a visit to the market to gather fresh ingredients, followed by mint tea while we get to know each other. Next, you'll learn how to prepare and season traditional tagines using authentic techniques and spices. Throughout the workshop, we'll explore Moroccan culture and history. Finally, you'll taste the dishes you've cooked together.
Your itinerary
We will meet you beside Koutoubia Mosque as per as agreed time and we'll take a quick trip to a local market to buy vegetables and other essential cooking ingredients. You'll choose the vegetables, and then we'll head to our house, which is just a short walk from the market.
Preparing mint tea
When we return, we will teach you how to prepare Moroccan mint tea and we will taste it together while getting to know each other better.
Start cooking
After enjoying tea, you'll begin cooking under the guidance of chef, Sarah. He'll be your instructor, but you'll handle everything from peeling and cutting to seasoning your tagines and other dishes. This part of the class requires the most time and effort. You'll typically start with dishes that require longer cooking, then move on to those that take less time.
