All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Fes is widely considered the culinary heart of Morocco, where centuries-old recipes are passed down through generations. A cooking class here is more than just a lesson; it is a sensory journey through the ancient Fes el-Bali Medina. Most experiences begin with a guided tour of the local souks, where you'll learn to select the freshest seasonal produce, aromatic herbs, and the specific spice blends—like the legendary Ras el Hanout—that define Moroccan flavors. Inside a traditional Riad or a local family home, you'll master techniques for slow-cooking tagines, steaming fluffy couscous, and even baking Moroccan khobz in communal ovens. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned foodie, these classes offer a deep dive into the culture, hospitality, and soul of Morocco.

Real experiences from real travelers
The market tour was fascinating. Our guide, Mohammed, explained spices I’d never even heard of. Cooking the lamb and prune tagine in a beautiful Riad was an experience I'll never forget.
We took our two teenagers and they loved the bread-making workshop. It was hands-on and the chef was so patient. We ate the best meal of our trip that day!
A very deep dive into Moroccan culture. I appreciated learning about the 'Smen' and the communal ovens. The only downside was the Medina can be confusing to navigate to the meeting point, so arrive early!
If you love cooking, this is a must. The flavors we created were so much better than what we found in the tourist restaurants. Highly recommend the Palais Bab Sahra class.
The local family we cooked with was so welcoming. We didn't just learn recipes; we learned about their daily life and traditions. The mint tea ceremony was beautiful.
Very well organized. The ingredients were fresh and the kitchen was spotless. I can't wait to try these recipes at home for my friends.
Everything from the souk walk to the final bite was perfect. The spice shop visit was a highlight—I bought so much to take home!
I have eaten many tagines, but the one I made myself under the chef's guidance was the best. The secrets to the lemon and olive chicken are life-changing.
