Moroccan Tajine Cooking Class in Marrakech: Farm to Table

Cook beef tajine with almonds and prunes, then eat what you made

A five-hour cooking class at a farm outside Marrakech where you prepare and cook a traditional Moroccan beef tajine with your own hands in an outdoor kitchen, then sit down to lunch with what you've made. Hotel pickup is included. Children from age 6 are welcome. You'll wear an apron, use tajine cookware and utensils provided, and learn about Moroccan cooking methods and farm life while you work.

The experience

After pickup from your hotel, you'll drive to the farm and start with Moroccan tea and sweets. A walk through the trees and vegetation shows you where the ingredients come from, then you move to the outdoor kitchen to begin. You'll handle the beef, almonds, prunes and eggs yourself, layering them into the tajine and learning the slow-cooking technique that builds the thick, flavorful gravy. The whole process takes time, that's the point, and you're doing it, not watching someone else do it.

Once the tajine is ready, it cooks while you sit down to lunch with the dish you made. The farm setting means you're working in the actual place where this food is prepared in everyday life, not in a restaurant kitchen or a studio. Aprons, tajines, plates, cups, knives and utensils are all provided. You bring nothing but your hands and your appetite.
