Fun tagine-cooking experience

Published on Feb, 2025

There were 7 of us (max 8) and we prepared and cooked a lamb tagine and vegetable briouat (little triangular filled pastries) over the course of a morning. While the tagines continued to cook we were taken to a spice stall in the medina where the owner, Mohammed Seddiki, gave us a fascinating tour of his shelves. Then back to L'atelier for the finishing flourish - eating our results over lunch! Very well organised; instruction in French and English - all materials prepared and ready to chop/ prepare at immaculately clean work-stations. Aysha was our local chef instructor, ably supported by Izzac (who also took us round the medina). 600 dirhams (about £50) per person. A really interesting experience offering fascinating insights to culinary aspects of Morocco.

A beautiful side of Essaouria

Published on Feb, 2025

The food we ended up cooking tasted amazing, but the experience of preparing it and learning about the Moroccan culture was even better! From the preparation of the tea when we arrived, to the trip to the souks to learn about spices, we felt like we have seen a part of Essaouria and Morocco that we haven't experienced before. The hosts were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and very very welcoming. The instruction was bilingual, in perfect French and English and different levels of cooking ability were catered for. The kitchen was beautiful, all the utensils clean and sharp and the pace of the course was good. Some of our course mates had already booked more courses with the same school. Thank you for a lovely experience, Alice and Serge

Great opportunity to learn about Moroccan cuisine and have a great lunch

Published on Dec, 2024

What a fabulous experience with very knowledgeable friendly ladies who took us through a mint tea ceremony, a lamb tagine and briouats. All were delicious and we enjoyed the trip to the market for spices as well. Merci beaucoup

Moroccan cooking class extraordinaire

Published on Nov, 2024

We greatly enjoyed this cooking class. It was a nice size and very professionally run. It was nice having Maryam and the chef to explain and guide us. The space was lovely and everything was laid out and ready when we arrived, and they were kind and engaging answering questions that they must get all the time! A nice bonus was a wonderful trip to a spice shop where we learned about many different spices and their uses. I have never experienced such fresh spices! We will definitely be back to Essaouira and would enjoy taking another class at l’Atelier since I would like to learn to make couscous. Highly recommend — and they are fluent in French and English.
