About
One of Marrakech's most iconic cooking schools, operating since 1946 in a beautiful riad. Classes are taught by Dada (traditional family cooks) and cover classic Moroccan dishes. The setting alone is worth the visit.

Incredible experience. The Dada was so patient and skilled. We made pastilla, tagine, and Moroccan cookies. The riad is gorgeous.

High quality class in a beautiful setting. A bit pricey compared to other cooking schools but the history and atmosphere justify it.

Loved the class but the group was a bit large (12 people). Would have preferred more hands-on time. That said, the food we made was delicious.

- The Dada (cook) teaching the class is the real star
- You can buy their cookbook to recreate recipes at home
- The riad courtyard where you eat is stunningly beautiful
