An authentic and... - An authentic and enjoyable local cooking experience in an amazing location. Mint tea, tagine and salads made fresh. The host was a delight and we had the run of the Riad and rooftop whilst the tagines cooked.

Fun tajine cooking class - We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Moroccan cooking class with the delightful Hanane at the Alriad. We made vegetable and chicken tajines with two warm salads: Moroccan and an eggplant salad after a shopping trip to the local souq for supplies. Her skilful eye on our cutting skills were helpful. She was good fun and relaxed.

A wonderful cooking lesson in the heart of Marrakech - We had a wonderful morning with Hanane and her team. We started by shopping in the Souks for our ingredients then back to the Riad where Hanane showed us how to make a traditional Moroccan tagine and some salads. We thoroughly recommend this experience.

Cooking Class in Marrakech at a local Riad - We shopped with Mouna in the local market for the ingredients for a Chicken Tagine. We then went to the Alriad and met Hanane. We were served Moroccan tea in the sitting room and then Hanane explained the process of preparing the ingredients for the Chicken Tagine, Moroccan Salad and Zelok - it was delicious! I would recommend this activity with Intrepid.

Highly recommend this experience! - Hanane was our lovely hostess and head chef for the Tagine cooking class. We really enjoyed the experience and the Tagine tasted excellent! First we walked to the market to pickup ingredients, then walked back to Alriad for cooking. We made babaganush, tomato and roasted green pepper dish, and Tagine. We ate on the rooftop terrace. Excellent experience!

Best meal in Morocco so far! - Chef Assis was great and the market tour was really cool because we collected all the food we ate before cooking it! All of the staff were super helpful. Each of us had our own tagine and the food was absolutely phenomenal! Best meal in Morocco so far. They even gifted us with baskets and spices used at the end!
Highly Recommend 💯

Wonderful cooking class! - Has such a wonderful time on this cooking class, our local instructor was wonderful and really helpful. The food we made was delicious and I really loved that we got to take home spices after the class! The riad the class was held in was beautiful and had a lovely rooftop anrea that we relaxed in whilst our tagines were cooking. Only negative would be that I would have loved a bit more information whilst we were in the local market buying ingredients.

Overpromised and extremely underdelivered - not worth it - Very underwhelming experience. The class could have been 2 hours as opposed to 4. I thought it would be more interactive, learning about the markets, interacting with vendors and more hands-on. There was a lot of sitting around and not a lot of communication. There was no tea demonstration nor were there recipes to leave with. Very disappointed by the experience overall and felt like a waste of a half of a day in a new city.
