We spent a wonderful morning learning how to cook some real Moroccan food and enjoyed eating the results for lunch. We have now tried to cook it back in England, but it just doesn't taste quite the same when it is cold and wet outside. Overall this was one of the highlights of our holiday and the memories of it will live on every time we cook a tagine.

My husband and I took the Arabe cooking workshop on March 20, 2008. We had a fantastic experience. Mohammed was a great food instructor. His English is perfect (he is an English Professor) and he is very patient (great for novice cooks). This class was a wonderful break from the busy Medina and another wonderful way to immerse oneself into the culture of Morocco. I would highly recommend this activity.

My friend and I took a cooking course given by Maison Arabe. We booked this on the site of the hotel (in which we did not stay, way above our budget!) and arrived at the hotel, where we met two other couples and were taken by shuttle to a very beautifull and luxurious villa outside of Marrakech (bring bathing gear, there is a wonderfull pool!). There, we met up with Mohammed, a very nice english teacher and translator for the local cook who showed us how to make a real Marocan tagine and salad. Though not very difficult to make, it was very, very tastefull and inspired us to buy a tagine in the medina and take it all the way home with us (heavy, but it arrived in one piece!)
I would really recommend taking this course; it gives you a real 'taste' of Marrakech.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class at La Maison Arabe. Mohammed was a perfect guide/translator and the tagine class capped a wonderful week in Morocco. The chicken tagine we made was actually the best we had in Morocco. We'll try to duplicate it at home!

I would highly recommend the class for anyone looking to learn a bit more about Moroccan culture/cuisine or just looking for a fun afternoon.
