Moroccan Cooking Class with Lunch in a Traditional Riad in Fez
Description
Step into a beautifully restored private home nestled in the heart of Fez, and embark on an immersive Moroccan cooking journey that goes far beyond just following recipes. Under the guidance of a warm and experienced local chef, you’ll discover the secrets behind some of Morocco’s most cherished dishes — from fragrant tagines to fluffy couscous and freshly baked bread. You'll work with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and learn traditional techniques that have been lovingly passed down through generations. As you cook, you'll gain deeper insight into Moroccan culture, hospitality, and the rich culinary heritage of Fez. This is more than a cooking class — it's a hands-on cultural experience that ends with a delicious shared meal in a welcoming, authentic setting.

An amazing cooking class with the lovely Ghita who is an amazing cook and very knowledgeable and explained things clear and concise. I would highly recommend for you to learn the art of morrocon cooking.
Two days, two cancellations. The first due to the Eid celebrations, the second due to a change from a French cook to an English one.
Hello, We would like to clarify the situation to avoid any misunderstanding. During the days of Eid, the medina of Fes is entirely closed. The local markets and all shops (including vegetables, meat, and poultry) completely cease their activity, without any exception. Our cooking class relies strictly on a same-day market visit and the use of fresh ingredients selected alongside our participants. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for us to guarantee this essential part of the experience or maintain our quality standards. For this reason, we informed you in advance of the situation, stating that we would proceed with the cancellation and refund. As promised, your booking has been canceled and a full refund has already been issued to you, as we choose to remain completely transparent rather than deliver a compromised experience. We hope to welcome you again under optimal conditions in the future. Kind regards
It was a great experience felt very welcomed and learnt a lot of skills that will take back to my home cooking , Ghita was very friendly and we made 4 dishes in total

We had a great time with this cooking class! From shopping for the ingredients in the Souk - to our very talented chef inquiring what our tastes were like - I can’t recommend this experience enough. To top it all off, the finished product was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend asking to make chicken dahgmira!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed every part of the experience, from exploring the Souk for fresh ingredients to cooking together. It means a lot to know the class felt personal and memorable. And excellent choice with the chicken dahgmira, one of our favorites too! We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another delicious Moroccan cooking adventure.
We had a very nice evening. We booked last minute, Ghita and her staff are very flexible. We made the best chicken, much better than in the restaurant. Thank you Ghita!
Thank you so much for your kind words It was a real pleasure to welcome you, even last minute! I’m very happy you enjoyed the evening and the cooking experience. I’m especially glad you liked the chicken, better than the restaurant makes me very happy And thank you so much for sharing the way you prepare mayonnaise with me, it felt like a magical experience! Thank you again, and you are always welcome back in Fes!
We had an amazing cooking class with Ghita. She picked us up from the meeting point to join her whilst doing groceries in the Medina. We went to a Riad where she explained us the Moroccan way of making the dishes (salads and Tajine). Ghita and the staff were very friendly and helpful during the workshop. We'd highly recommend this workshop if you want an authentic experience!
Thank you all so much for your kind review It was truly a pleasure to welcome all 8 of you! You were such a lovely and friendly group, and it made the whole experience even more special for us. I’m very happy you enjoyed the cooking class, from the Medina to the riad and the dishes we prepared together. Thank you again for your great energy and kindness You are all always welcome back in Fes!
Ghita shared with us her know-how, her taste for traditional Moroccan cuisine inherited from her mom. She took the time to explain the recipes step by step with the precise amounts of ingredients and how to prepare and cook them. We were proud, with his help, to have made a real Moroccan meal.
