Our pioneering spirit at La Maison Arabe led us to open the first cooking school in the Kingdom of Morocco in 2001. Food lovers staying in Marrakech can discover some secrets of Moroccan traditional cuisine. The workshops are conducted by a dada (traditional Moroccan cook), algonside a translator ( Arabic/English/French) and are held by the cooking school near the Riad-Hotel La Maison Arabe or by the secret gardens away from the hustle and bustle of the medina. The Moroccan cooking workshops at La Maison Arabe allow one to learn the ins and outs of preparing a Moroccan dish in a beautiful new workshop with state-of-the-art equipment. The workstations are individual and only fresh local ingredients of the highest quality are used.
Cooking workshops at La Maison Arabe offers 2 options :
* 1 Hour express Moroccan cooking workshops: 2 sessions per day : 1:30pm (lunch) & 6:30 pm (dinner).
* 3 Hours Moroccan cooking workshop: 2 sessions per day at 10am (lunch) and 3pm (dinner).

Rakaya, Fatima and colleagues were a delight and made the class fun and welcoming. We made 3 dishes and was shown how to make bread and a milk dessert as well. A brilliant morning. ?

This adventure was right up my alley... I love to cook. I drafted my husband to enjoy the adventure with me. Although he was skeptical, he had fun and enjoyed the experience as well which proves you do not have to have a real interest in cooking to enjoy the class.
The Dada (Chef) and helpers were extrordinary. They learned all our names (class of 7) and were helpful and fun.
In our class of 7, all were different nationalities which also provided a great experience.

Got lucky and did the workshop with just one other couple. The kitchen was incredible; really clean and the screens on each section allowed you to see the chef even if you were at your station. The staff were all very knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly lovely and a good laugh. The food we prepared was delicious and traditional, and we even got a little goodie bag at the end. Would recommend to anyone!

The one hour cooking class was just enough to learn the basics of tangine cooking and tea making. The staff is very helpful, fun, and knowledgeable. This is a must do!

We took the 3 hour cooking class and it was amazing! The pre-cooking information on spices used in Moroccan cooking was fascinating and the dishes we made were truly the best food we had while in Morocco, which saying a lot because the food there is terrific! This class was so informative, fun and very hands-on. It was absolutely one of the highlights of our visit. I highly recommend it!

The teaching was great and the demo couldn’t have been better as it was complemented by live view on screens in front of us. The portions were generous and the chefs were fun and encouraging. We made a great tagine with preserved lemons. The ‘translator’ was a great educator. The building was beautiful. Everything was very clean.

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had with any holiday! Thank you to Yessir +Wafa and Fatha who we’re amazing, they were really warm, kind and friendly. And best of all my family and I got to enjoy some beautiful morrrocan cuisine. I will definitely do this experience again next time I am back in Marrakesh.

I spent a lot of time looking at cooking experiences for my trip, trust me and book this one. It was a perfect balance of theory and practical. Everyone involved was extremely helpful and made the class worthwhile. The venue could not be any better. All equipment and ingredients were provided and each station was set up so well. We made 2 starters and a tagine. The chefs demonstrated and made bread and a desert. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
