Full description
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.
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.
