Marrakech: Authentic Moroccan Cooking Class with a Local Chef

Cook Like a Local in the Heart of Marrakech!

Immerse yourself in Moroccan culture with this hands-on cooking class led by a local chef. Discover the secrets of traditional Moroccan cuisine, master new culinary skills, and enjoy a delicious feast of the dishes you prepare.

Market Visit & Tea Ceremony

Your experience begins at our meeting point, where we’ll take a short walk to a local market. Here, we’ll select the freshest vegetables, spices, and ingredients needed for our dishes.

Once back home, we kick off the session with a traditional Moroccan tea ceremony. Learn how to prepare authentic Moroccan mint tea, just as locals do. While sipping tea, we’ll take the time to get to know each other before diving into the cooking experience.

Cooking & Cultural Experience

With guidance from our expert chef, you’ll learn traditional techniques for peeling, chopping, and seasoning Moroccan dishes—just like our grandmothers and mothers have done for generations. We typically prepare six dishes per session, depending on the group size, ensuring a rich and diverse learning experience.

As we cook, we’ll share fascinating insights into Moroccan culture, traditions, and history, making this more than just a cooking class—it’s a cultural immersion!

Menu: What You’ll Cook

Here are some of the delicious Moroccan dishes you might prepare:
✔ Beef Tagine with Prunes
✔ couscous
✔ Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemon & Olives
✔ Vegetable Tagine
✔ Meatballs in Tomato & Egg Sauce (Kefta)
✔ Shakshouka (Sweet Peppers & Eggs)
✔ Zaalouk (Smoky Eggplant Salad)

Depending on dietary restrictions and group size, we may add one or two additional dishes. If the group is smaller than eight, we may prepare fewer dishes, but rest assured—you’ll always have plenty of food to enjoy!

Participants will work together as a team, preparing multiple dishes, allowing them to learn more than just one recipe. We also cater to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets.

Feast & Recipe Sharing

At the end of the class, we set up a buffet-style meal so you can savor each dish. Since you’re on vacation, we take our time—there’s no rush, and you’ll feel right at home.

Later in the evening, we’ll send you a link to our website, where you can find detailed recipes of the dishes we prepared and many more Moroccan specialties.
