Cooking Classes in Marrakech

A cooking class is the one souvenir from Marrakech you'll use every week. Most workshops start with a guided walk through the spice souk to haggle for saffron, preserved lemons and ras el hanout, then move to a riad kitchen where a dada — the family cook who guards Morocco's recipes — walks you through a tagine, couscous steamed the slow way, or flaky msemen for breakfast. Classes run from casual two-hour sessions to full days that end with lunch on a rooftop you cooked yourself.
