Cooking Class in a Traditional Riad

Moroccan cuisine is a sensory journey, and this cooking class invites you to unlock all its secrets. Set in a beautiful traditional riad in the medina, surrounded by zellige tilework, fountains, and orange trees, you'll enjoy an authentic and warm culinary experience. The workshop begins with a guided visit to the spice souk, where you'll learn to recognize and select the essential ingredients of Moroccan gastronomy: cumin, saffron, ras el hanout, preserved lemons, and orange blossom water. Your chef will share time-honored tips passed down through generations. Back at the riad, you'll roll up your sleeves to prepare a complete menu: Moroccan salad as a starter, tajine or couscous as the main course, and almond-honey pastries for dessert. The meal is then enjoyed together on the riad's rooftop terrace, accompanied by traditional mint tea. A bilingual recipe booklet is provided so you can recreate these flavors at home.
