Full description

Most evenings in Marrakech end at somebody else's table. This one ends at yours. You spend the evening in a Moroccan kitchen, learn the flavours properly, cook alongside the people who cook this food every day, and then sit down to the dinner you have just made.

It is a sociable thing rather than a lesson. Small groups mean people talk across the table while the tagines are on; couples get an evening that is genuinely shared rather than served; groups and families get a table of their own if they want it.

Think of it as the alternative to booking another restaurant. Same good food, same evening slot, except you know exactly what went into it — and you can make it again when you get home.
