A Moroccan cooking class in the heart of Marrakech
Learn to prepare a Moroccan dish on the Kui-Zin rooftop in Marrakech medina. The workshop takes place inside the restaurant, where our team cooks tajines, couscous and Marrakchi recipes every day.
This Moroccan cooking class in Marrakech is a practical, friendly experience: choose your recipe in advance, take part in the preparation, then enjoy the dish on site.
Classes welcome 2 to 30 participants—couples, families, friends or larger groups.
How does the cooking workshop work?
1. Choose your dish
When booking, choose the recipe you want to learn: tajine, couscous or msemen. This lets us prepare the workshop before you arrive.
2. Prepare the recipe with the team
On the rooftop, you discover the preparation steps and take an active part in the recipe. The class is designed as a relaxed exchange around Moroccan cooking.
3. Enjoy what you prepared
After about 1.5 hours of cooking—sometimes a little longer depending on the dish—you sit down and share the meal prepared during the workshop.
Tajine, couscous or msemen: choose your recipe
A tajine introduces the balance of spices, vegetables and slow cooking. Couscous lets you work with semolina and the different parts of the dish. Msemen introduces a Moroccan dough shaped by hand.
Choose one dish before the class so the team can organise your session. If you are unsure, contact us before booking and ask any questions about the available recipes.
You can also read our guide to what to eat in Marrakech.
Your class with the Kui-Zin team
Kui-Zin's kitchen is led by Chef Kenza, who is passionate about culinary creation and has a background combining Moroccan cooking with Mediterranean influences. Depending on the session, your class is guided by her or by an experienced member of the kitchen team.
This is a hands-on workshop: the team demonstrates the techniques, explains the recipe and guides you while you chop, mix, shape or roll the different parts of your dish.
You work with recipes prepared at the restaurant every day. The aim is to share techniques genuinely used at Kui-Zin in a format suitable for beginners and experienced home cooks alike.
