Marrakech is only a 3 hour flight away from London, perfect for a shortbreak. Your long weekend starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday, so you should schedule to arrive at the riad in Marrakech on Thursday anytime after 1 pm. The pace of the culinary weekend is relaxed. Interspersed between relaxing at the riad, exploring Marrakech or lazing by the glorious pool near the Atlas foothills, there will be two half day cooking sessions. There's also a fascinating escorted trip to the souks - the bustling Moroccan markets. Cooking sessions last half a day, each devoted to a particular technique and dish.
