Moroccan Cooking Class
Marrakech, Morocco
About This Activity
Join a local chef in a beautiful riad kitchen to master the art of Moroccan cuisine. Start with a trip to a spice market to select fresh ingredients, then learn to prepare classics like chicken tagine with preserved lemons, hand-rolled couscous, and flaky pastilla. Understand the spice blends that define Moroccan cooking: ras el hanout, chermoula, and harissa. Finish by enjoying your creations on a rooftop terrace. Classes typically run 3-4 hours including the market visit, with group sessions from around 500-600 MAD per person.
