Cooking Classes Farm to Table Marrakech

Posted By : jessgY2338RH
We had the best time, the kitchen was beautiful and we very much enjoyed cooking here. We were lucky enough to be the only group at the time, so made use of all of the chefs knowledge. It was great that we could decide what we wanted to make, as my girlfriend is vegetarian and there was lots of options for her, whilst I could also have the meat options. The chef was brilliant and a great host! This was well worth the money and thank you so much.

An educational experience in a relaxed environment!

First we bought fresh vegetables and meat at the market for the dishes of our choice (1 main course per person) and then drove together to the farm, where a cooking station was set up for each person.

All preparation steps were roughly explained to the group, then the specific tasks were assigned in detail to the person responsible.

In addition to the "boss", there was a person who cleaned up in between and took care of little things like stirring etc. while the group was busy - this made everything even more relaxed given the many dishes.

In between, we drank tea and ate sweets. All starters and main courses were prepared by the team and eaten by the group in the comfort of the garden. There was plenty of water to drink.

Anything that was left over was given to the families who live on the farm. So nothing was thrown away.

A great experience to learn more about Moroccan cuisine.

My adult daughter and I are happy we booked the cooking class. Everything was wonderful- from picking our food out at the market to preparing and learning about Moroccan food and eating the meal in a beautiful setting with a lovely couple from Vienna under Abdul’s excellent guidance

From start to finish just an enormous amount of fun. We were picked up near our hotel and then driven to a market where we got vegetables, meat. Each of us selected from one of about 9 or 10 different dishes, tagines, couscous, and pastille. Then drove about 20 minutes to a beautiful outdoor cooking area. We spent about 3 hours preparing and cooking the meals -- chopping everything, assembling, then putting the pots on braziers, and letting them cook. We also made fresh bread and cooked the pastilles in their wood-fire oven. Had some mint tea and pastries while it was cooking. When everything was ready we sat down and ate. The food was simply amazing, we went to a lot of high-end restaurants but I have to say the freshly made tajine, bread, it was the best meal we had the whole trip -- possibly just because of the experience and that we made it ourselves, or because it was cooked fresh, either way just delicious. We learned a lot during the class, and he was good with my daughters (12 and 15), letting them do all of their cooking, and not giving them knife work that is more accident-prone. I highly recommend it, and the open-air venue is nicer than anything you are going to find near the medina, with lot of space, some couches where you can sit and take a break, shade from the sun, and some goats.

Whole experience was very enjoyable from start to finish. Abdel our host and chef was friendly, informative and easy company. We had a choice of dishes from which to select ones to prepare and then as a small group we went to the local market to buy the ingredients. The venue itself is a little drive out of Marrakesh, and was an oasis of calm within a beautiful setting. We had great fun cooking together in an outside kitchen and then eating our fabulous food sat in the garden. Would certainly recommend this course to others. Thankyou.

Recommended! It was the best part/experience of our 8-day trip to Morocco. Abdul is a professional chef and it shows, that he is very patient and educational with how to select the ingredients and how to cook each of the dishes, he goes step by step taking care that we understand why we are using certain ingredients and why the process is like it is.
The class starts with a visit to a local market to buy all the ingredients needed for the selected dishes, then we go to his farm outside Marrakech for the cooking class. This place is magical and beautiful, with a well-equipped cooking area on the outside.
The best food we tried on our trip was, surprisingly, the one we cooked ourselves thanks to this class. Definitely a fantastic experience!
PS: there are vegetarian options as well.

The Moroccan cooking class at 'Farm to Table' led by our instructor, Chef Abdul, was a delightful culinary journey into the vibrant flavours of Morocco. We were firstly taken to the market in the souk where we shopped for our ingredients. Abdul, with his warm smile and expert guidance, patiently led us through each step of the process of preparing the dishes. The star of the show was the lamb tagine, that my wife Jennie made. It was a fragrant and rich stew that simmered slowly to tender perfection.

The vegetable couscous, my selection, was a delicious compliment to the lamb tagine, with each fluffy grain perfectly cooked and infused with the essence of the vegetables and aromatic broth. The process of steaming the couscous was a fascinating revelation, and Abdul's tips ensured that the dish turned out perfectly.

We also had the pleasure of preparing five different salads, each highlighting a unique combination of fresh produce, herbs, and dressings. The salads added a refreshing and colorful contrast to the richness of the tagine and couscous, showcasing the balance of flavors and textures that is characteristic of Moroccan cuisine.

Throughout the class, Chef Abdul shared insights into the traditional techniques and ingredients used in Moroccan cooking, making the experience not only delicious but also educational. His passion for the cuisine was infectious, and his attention to detail ensured that each dish was cooked to perfection.

The best part of the experience was eating and enjoying the food that we had prepared in the tranquil garden and hearing the birds chirping as we dined together. Such a wonderful way to complete a long deserved holiday with my wife.

Such a fun and educational cooking class in which we learned to make a variety of tagines, couscous, and traditional Moroccan salads and mint tea! The instructor was great, and the food was delicious. The setting at the farm was very nice and it was overall an amazing experience! Thank you!

We have been to many cookery schools abroad before and this is definitely up with the best!!
We started with a trip to the markets to hand pick our own vegetables and to the butchers for meat. We had a wide choice of dishes to choose from and we both choose differently meaning we could try a tagine and couscous.
The location is stunning approx 30min drive away, very peaceful and quiet with an outdoor kitchen and herb garden.
Not only did we make our main courses, we also made 4 different salads for starters along with fresh bread! The head chef was very informative and you could see the passion he has for cooking and teaching!
Afterwards we got to sit and enjoy our hard efforts, we had so much food we barely ate half of it all, we went in the evening and where glad we skipped lunch!
Overall an absolutely fantastic experience we highly recommend worth every penny!
Many thanks from the Lawsons
