Overview

A hands-on Marrakech cooking class with a local chef — one of the most rewarding things to do in Marrakech and the best Moroccan cooking class in town. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included, so you can relax and focus on the food. You will actively prepare classic Moroccan dishes — chicken or vegetable tagine, hand-rolled couscous and traditional salads — and learn the spice blends to recreate them at home. Pair this with bigger Marrakech desert tours, the multi-day 3-day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech, or browse Marrakech activities.

Itinerary

Day 1

Full-day excursion

We collect you from your riad in Marrakech and meet your local chef-host. After a quick stroll through a nearby souk to pick up fresh produce and spices, you head into a traditional kitchen to prepare a full Moroccan meal — typically a starter of zaalouk or carrot salad, a main course of chicken or vegetable tagine and hand-rolled couscous, and mint tea with pastries. You sit down to eat what you have cooked together before being driven back to your accommodation.
