Cooking Class with a classy lunch

Discover the Secrets of Moroccan Cuisine with a cooking class.

Moroccan cuisine is one of the most renowned in the world, celebrated for its bold flavors, aromatic spices, and rich culinary traditions. During your stay in Marrakech, you have likely indulged in delicious tagines, experienced the intoxicating scents of saffron, cumin, and cinnamon, and savored the unique flavors of Moroccan salads, often prepared with slow-cooked vegetables and a variety of fragrant seasonings. Now, why not take your experience a step further by learning to recreate these incredible dishes at home?

A Moroccan cooking class offers a wonderful opportunity to dive into the heart of the country’s gastronomic culture. Under the guidance of skilled local chefs, you will learn the art of preparing a traditional Moroccan meal from scratch. You’ll start by selecting fresh ingredients, just as locals do in the bustling souks, where colorful stalls overflow with seasonal vegetables, preserved lemons, fragrant herbs, and high-quality spices.

One of the highlights of the experience is learning to make a real Moroccan tagine. This slow-cooked dish, named after the earthenware pot in which it is prepared, combines meat or fish with a medley of vegetables, fruits, and a carefully balanced mix of spices. Whether it's a savory lamb tagine with prunes and almonds, a chicken tagine with preserved lemons and olives, or a vegetarian version with chickpeas and seasonal produce, each dish is a masterpiece of flavor.

At the end of your cooking session, the best part awaits: sitting down to enjoy the meal you have prepared. Surrounded by warm hospitality, you’ll savor every bite of your dishes, appreciating the depth of Moroccan flavors and the satisfaction of having created them yourself.
