Departure & Return

Departure Point

Traveler pickup is offered
We collect from hotels in the city center. For the Riads (guest houses) in the Medina (old town), the access is difficult with our huge cars so, we will try to find a picking point as close as possible at your location.

Departure Time

9:30 AM

What To Expect

Meet a driver at your Marrakech accommodations, then travel to the farmhouse in a private, climate-controlled vehicle.

Join a local cook for a day in the kitchen, starting by testing your nose on a “Guess the Spices” test, trying to identify unlabeled jars of Moroccan seasonings.

Roll up your sleeves to prepare a full meal, including bread, salad, and special Moroccan crepes. The main course changes daily and both vegetarian and gluten-free options are available upon request. As you cook, take advantage of your time with a local chef to learn about Moroccan food traditions, or ask questions about the foods you’ve discovered while visiting the country.

When the meal is ready, sit down to a classic Moroccan feast at the farmhouse’s outdoor terrace, eating in the shade of thriving fruit trees. Your full-day of Moroccan cooking concludes with return transfer to your hotel.

Best Part of My Trip!

This class was excellent! I take cooking classes and do workshops all the time and this one was one of the best I've ever taken. The Chef was perfect. She took the time to ensure that everyone understood. I was the only one in the class that did not speak French and she was sure to include me in the instruction. One of the best parts of the day was the time spent learning about the spices. I appreciated that portion of the workshop because it helped me to understand the flavors, not just throw them together. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn about HOW Moroccan food works with the spices.

This class far exceeded my expectations. I learned techniques for cooking Moroccan food along with tips for my own cooking. The class included participants from four countries; we all felt welcome and this added to the experience. The woman that leads the class is wonderful and made us all feel like we knew what we were doing. Great sense of humor. Eating our own creations as well as those of the other 'students' was a wonderful ending to a enjoyable day.

We had good fun with Ilham cooking our tagines, bread and salads, good instructions and enjoyable. The blind spice test with Michel was a little long and tedious, especially when it was obvious that we didn’t know and I didn’t appreciate the tricks. However, Michel was cheerful and funny. I would have loved to see some of the dessert being prepared as it was delicious. Overall, it was a good day and a lovely farm setting not too far out of Marrakech.

Could not recommend this cooking class more! Michel was very insightful and humorous in providing an overview of Morrocan cuisine and Marrakech itself. We had a broad range of cooking abilities though all managed to create a delicious feast. We will definitely be taking the skills and recipes we learnt back home to share with our friends and family. Thank you!
