Great afternoon
A great afternoon spent creating Moroccan dishes! We made 4 starters and 2 tagines. There were 12 of us in total. We met the guide at 2pm at the meeting point, then went through the market to pick up the vegetables we needed on the way to the house. It was mainly chopping and preparing the food, but it was good fun. There was also an opportunity to buy some spices at the end. We finished around 4:30/45. Very good activity!

Great Evening
We chose this activity for our last night in Morocco, and we are very happy with our choice.
We had a great time. The guide (Tareq) was super friendly, it was a fab spot for the sunset, the music was good, the fire show was good. There was plenty of food and it was lovely, and our kids who are somewhat fussy enjoyed it too.
A really nice way to spend an evening, and a great change of pace (and scenery).

A wonderful, well...
A wonderful, well organised trip to Agafay desert led by Jjwad. You get to tour an argan oil cooperative, go camel riding and end with a traditional dinner at a peaceful location, complete with live music and an impressive fire show. One of the best evening activities you can do here!

Had a great time cooking with Chef
Had a great experience making all the dishes with Chef ( Laila's daughter) Met people from Italy, Canada, Holland, USA, England. We all took turns cutting foods, prep and then eating. There was some down time while food cooked to get to know others in the group. It was difficult to find the location. Recipes shared on WhatApp right after we finished our meal. We made 3 side dishes, 2 different tagines, had dessert but chef made it and when we arrived had mint tea and cookies.

This was a great cooking...
This was a great cooking class! We each got to chop vegetables and assemble a tagine. We did get real hands-on experience. It was also nice being out in a real neighborhood where people actually live, rather than in the tourist-focused medina.
Note to others who take a taxi from the medina: I couldn't talk our taxi driver down from 150 dirhams, which I knew was overpriced. Yassine said it should have been 50 dirhams. Talk your taxi driver down to 50 dirhams!

Sweet memory
This will remain as the best memory of Marrakech for us.
We met punctually, went to this pretty apartment, prepared, chatted, cooked and it was like being with friends, although we knew nobody.
We felt welcome and taken cared of.
Such a wholesome experience.

Excellent!
We booked this trip as a group of 7 friends. The tour started with buying fresh veg etc from the market then a very short walk to the riad. There we learnt about Moroccan tea followed by the history and art of Moroccan food. The food we prepared was amazing and I would highly recommend this tour.

A fabulous way to...
A fabulous way to experience Moroccan gastronomy and customs. It was a very hands on experience and the chef did an extraordinary job of teaching us about the use of spices, dried fruit and honey in Moroccan cuisine. The farm to table setting was both authentic and intimate. It made cooking and the lunch a lovely way to spend a Spring day outside Marrakech.

Unmatched Tajine Class
If I could give this 6 stars I would! Hamza and the crew at Riad Niela were fantastic. A highlight of our trip in Morocco, learning the culinary history and cooking method for tajine. Food that we made was delicious and the group environment was very fun. Hamza was a great teacher, helped us personalize our recipes and went above and beyond to give us insight and recipes. He also helped us organize some other activities at the Riad as well. Can't reccomend this experience enough!

Fantastic and Fun Experience, Definately Recommended!!
This was really one of the highlights of our holiday. Najla made us feel really welcome she is super knowledgeable and explained all about the herbs and spices we used and how best to introduce them into various dishes. We firstly went to the local market to select the herbs and meat (the chicken was so fresh it was still warm!!)
The whole experience was interactive and we were one of three couples in the class. We each took turns at preparing different elements of the starters and our main dish 'The Tagine', the food was fabulous. We have taken lots of ideas away with us to introduce to meals back in the UK and Najla even emailed us after the class with lots of recipes and information on all of the spices and marinades we used and prepared. Definately recommended!!

Loved everything about this!
Loved everything about this excursion. We started out sharing tea around a big table filled with jars of spices where our coordinator taught us about the spices used in Moroccan cuisine. We had the chance to smell them and learn of their origins. She explained about the traditional tagine, both the cookware and the meal. From there, we went to the cooking area, where we learned from the dada (female cook) how to make 3 traditional dishes. Everyone was so happy to be there and work with us, which made working in the kitchen pure joy. Finally, we sat in the dining room and were served the meal we just cooked. We highly recommend this excursion.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
The best Moroccan cuisine starts with fresh ingredients and a knowledgeable chef—and there’s no better way to learn about local dishes than by whipping them up yourself. Marrakech cooking classes let you create traditional food alongside local cooks for an immersive cultural experience. Lessons include everything you need to create one or more delicious dishes, and some classes visit a local souk for fresh ingredients—but all experiences end with you savoring the fruits of your labor.
