You'll arrive at Riad Andallaspa, a traditional 19-room riad in the heart of Marrakech's Medina, where your host will welcome you into the kitchen with a cup of mint tea to start.
Together, you'll begin by preparing a trio of traditional Moroccan salads and warm homemade khobz bread — a relaxed, hands-on starter that eases you into Moroccan cooking technique before the main event.
Next, your host will guide you step-by-step through building a traditional Moroccan tagine from scratch: blending the spices (ginger, saffron, preserved lemon, olives), layering the ingredients, and learning the slow-cooking method passed down through generations. This is fully hands-on — you'll do the cooking yourself, not just watch a demonstration.
While the tagine simmers, you'll head up to the riad's rooftop as the sun begins to set over the Medina. When the tagine is ready, it's carried up and served there, along with a simple dessert of fresh orange and cinnamon, so you finish the evening eating the meal you cooked while overlooking the city at golden hour.
The experience closes with a traditional mint tea ceremony on the rooftop before you depart
