      FAQ

      Everything you may want to know

      MAD 300 per person, for either the morning class (10:30 AM, includes the market visit) or the evening class (4:30 PM).

      Two class times, confirmed for your date. Morning at 10:30 AM lasts about 4–5 hours (lunch); we recommend planning other activities from 3:00 PM onwards, especially for larger groups. Evening class at 4:30 PM lasts about 4 hours (dinner).

      The signature menu: zaalouk, taktouka, traditional Moroccan salad, chicken lemon tagine, vegetable tagine, mhencha pastry and traditional Moroccan mint tea.

      Only in the morning class (10:30 AM). We walk to a local Marrakech market together to shop for fresh vegetables, herbs and spices before starting the cooking. The evening class starts directly in the kitchen.

      Yes — the whole point. At the end of the class we all sit down together to enjoy the full menu as lunch (morning class) or dinner (evening class), finishing with Moroccan mint tea.

      Yes. Everything except the chicken tagine (zaalouk, taktouka, salad, vegetable tagine, mhencha, mint tea) is already vegetarian, and the chicken tagine can be swapped for a fully vegetarian version. Just let us know about allergies or diets when you book.

      Absolutely — no experience needed. The chef guides you step by step, and children love the market visit and hands-on cooking with a parent.
