Located in the heart of Marrakech, The Cooking Professor offers an immersive foray into Moroccan street food. This culinary adventure centers around the bustling markets where spices, herbs, and vibrant ingredients come alive amid a cacophony of sounds and sights. Riki guides participants through the sensory overload, revealing secrets behind iconic dishes like saffron-spiced Chicken and handcrafted Moroccan Lamb Cigars. Each session combines hands-on cooking with cultural storytelling, making it as educational as it is delicious. Marrakech itself is a city where history and modernity intersect—narrow alleyways lead to lively souks, aromatic cafes, and centuries-old palaces. Riki’s class takes place within this lively cityscape, giving travelers an authentic taste of local life. What makes this experience stand out is the opportunity to learn traditional techniques from a master, while sampling the city’s best flavors. The class’s small group setting fosters personal attention, ensuring everyone walks away with new skills and a true appreciation for Moroccan cuisine. Participants will start their journey by shopping for fresh ingredients at the market—an adventure on its own—before rolling up their sleeves in a cozy cooking space. Post-class, guests can savor their creations paired with regional teas or fresh flatbreads, making it a satisfying end to a full sensory immersion. The experience is ideal for food lovers, cultural explorers, and anyone seeking a hands-on connection to Morocco’s rich culinary heritage. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned cook, this class promises an unforgettable taste and insight into Marrakech’s vibrant food scene.

The Cooking Professor delivers hands‑on cooking classes and culinary workshops designed for home cooks, families, and food lovers. Featured on The Adventure Collective, the business offers a wide range of experiences that span global cuisines — from Japanese ramen and sushi to Moroccan street food, Italian pasta and gnocchi, Spanish paella and churros, and a variety of baking and cheese‑making workshops. Classes are structured for different age groups and formats: adult workshops (often noted as suitable for ages 14 and up), parent & child sessions for younger learners (examples include ages 4–14 and 8–16), junior kids’ programs, and long table dinner events. Many workshops are chef‑led and hands‑on; for example, the French patisserie class highlights Chef Kym Chambers as an instructor for choux pastry. Offerings include technical skill sessions—such as beginners knife skills, sourdough baking, cheese making (mozzarella and burrata), and sausage workshops—alongside cuisine‑specific cooking classes for Thai, Korean, Filipino, Chinese dumplings, Indian banquet classics, and more. Events also feature communal dining experiences with live music or themed entertainment for longer evening events. The Cooking Professor emphasizes practical learning, shared meals, and accessible recipes so participants can replicate techniques at home. Each class lists age suitability and detailed menus, making it straightforward to choose the right experience for families, teens, or adult learners.
