Cooking Workshop Essaouira – With A Dada Chef
Discover Moroccan Cuisine

Cooking Class

10:30am – 14:30 (2:30pm) – Cooking Class

Located in a former warehouse under the Madada Boutique Hotel is L’Atlier Madada and the perfect spot for a seaside cooking class. The classes have a maximum of eight people and everyone has their own work station. Mona, the Moroccan Dada Chef learned the best from her mother who was a great cook and former chef at La Mamounia in Marrakech.

The wide array of dishes offered in the cooking class change daily and are based upon the vegetables, meats and fruits of season. L’Atlier also accommodates vegetarians as well for those who want to cook up Morocco meat free. The cooking class begins with a tour of Essaouira’s fish market, the spice souks and sound advice on what to purchase in local markets – a guide for veggies, fruits, spices and preserved lemons. Then everyone returns to the kitchen for mint tea and to roll up their sleeves and cook up Morocco!

A separate pastry workshop is also offered in the afternoon and is great for children. See pricing separately. The day ends with a three course savory meal ready to dine on for lunch.
