The Rhode School of Cuisine, a company based in England that offers programs in France and Italy, also runs the Dar Liqama cooking school in the quiet Palmeraie area just outside Marrakech. Culinary sessions at the luxurious villa take place in February, March and November, starting at a cost of $2,200 per week per person, which includes accommodations in one of the eight bedrooms at the house. (Travelers who don't want to take classes can also stay and eat at Dar Liqama and participate in the excursions while school is in session; prices start at $1,900 a week.) The curriculum can be customized upon request and can include field trips to local restaurants, food markets and sights, as well as short trips into the Atlas Mountains.
