About this activity
Experience Moroccan culture from the inside out in this immersive, hands-on cooking class in Marrakech. You’ll join local chef Najla in her kitchen, learn how to prepare traditional recipes step by step, and discover the stories and secrets behind Morocco’s most iconic spices and ingredients.
Enjoy a fun, social atmosphere as you cook together, then sit down to a generous, family style homemade meal where you can taste everything you’ve created and connect with fellow guests. By the end, you’ll leave not only full and satisfied, but also with new skills, recipes, and the confidence to recreate authentic Moroccan dishes at home.
What you will do
Welcome to Najla's cooking class, where you will learn everything you need to know about Moroccan cooking. Najla will walk you through the cooking process step by step, teaching you her personal cooking technique and showing you her unique selection of herbs and spices to create the most authentic Moroccan meal that you have ever tasted. See below a general itinerary of the class: You'll meet Najla by a local pharmacy in the old Medina, where you will go out with her to buy the produce for the class (vegetables, meat ...). Once back in her home, the cooking class will start with a lesson on making traditional Moroccan tea. You'll settle in for tea time and enjoy delicious Moroccan cookies and cakes as you and your host get to know each other. When done, you will start the cooking class! The menu will consist of a starter, a main course and a dessert (all will be of your choice). Najla is also more than happy to help you buy any spices, gifts or jewellery, bringing you to where she would buy them, with local prices! If you're interested in a Moroccan tattoo, Najla will happily give it to you as a gift! Spend the day with a local, and learn how to cook like a true Moroccan.
