Learn, cook, eat — in that order, and in one relaxed daytime session. This is not a demonstration you watch from a stool. You handle the ingredients, you build the dish, and the lunch on the table at the end is the one you made.
It starts gently: a welcome, mint tea, and a proper introduction to what is actually in a Moroccan kitchen — which spices go in cold, which go in late, why the vegetables are stacked the way they are. Then you get to work, with a cook beside you correcting the seasoning rather than doing it for you.
There is no market walk in this sitting, so the hours go on the cooking rather than on getting there. Because it finishes at lunch, it slots neatly into a Marrakech day: morning here, and your afternoon is still free for the medina, a hammam or a rooftop. Travellers who want the same experience as an evening out should look at the evening class and dinner sitting instead.
Welcome
Arrive and settle in
You are welcomed into the kitchen with mint tea and shown the table you will be working at.

Ingredients and traditions
A walk through the spices, the fresh produce and how a Moroccan dish is actually built — the part most travellers never get told.

Make the dishes yourself
You do the chopping, the mixing and the layering, then cook with the cook talking you through timing, heat and seasoning.
Share
Moroccan tea
Mint tea and conversation around the table while the food finishes.
Eat
Sit down to your lunch
Everyone sits down together and eats the lunch the group prepared.
Longer trips are built around your dates, pace and group. Tell us what you have in mind and we answer personally with a plan and a clear price.
