Riad Anata Cooking Class
Your four hour cooking class experience at Riad Anata will begin with a trip to the local market. You will wander with your Chef, either Samira or Hassania, through the narrow alleyways of Fes’ ancient Medina to a street lined with produce vendors and butchers. You and your chef will decide what to make: cous cous, tagine, salad, soup, and dessert are all choices you can make as you see what’s on offer at the market. When you arrive back at the riad, you will unload your shopping baskets in the beautiful open-air rooftop kitchen. You’ll start by boiling water for traditional mint tea, which will keep you hydrated and refreshed as you cook your four-course meal. You’ll quickly get to work chopping vegetables for salad, learning how to smoke aubergines on the cooktop for stew, and start slow-cooking a meat dish with a delicious blend of spices including turmeric, cinnamon, cracked pepper, and bright orange saffron. You’ll want to return home and cook a feast for your friends and family, and Chefs Samira or Hassania will ensure you have all the knowledge you need to share these unique flavours among friends back home.
The experience is available to guests and non-guests of Riad Anata. It is offered at 10:00am and 3:00pm daily. Vegetarian options are available. Group classes cost 50 euros per person, and private classes cost 80 euros per person. Guests are welcome to join to partake in the meal for 25 euros each. Children are more than welcome to participate, and they can eat for 15 euros or experience the whole class for 40 euros.
We look forward to to share this moment in the kitchen with you.
