The cuisine of Morocco is far more enticing than the cuisine of maracas, which teases diners with delicious dried beans stuck inside an impenetrable yet percussive coconut shell. Get easier access to exotic eats with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a Moroccan cooking class with executive chef Rafih Benjelloun at Imperial Fez in Buckhead (a $100 value).

Born and raised in Morocco, chef Rafih Benjelloun has been serving authentic Moroccan cuisine to Atlantans since 1991. In a two-hour cooking class, held every other Tuesday from 3 p.m to 5 p.m., the recipe-illiterate will learn how to tame the exotic ingredients and feverish spices that embody Morocco's cuisine. Upon completion of the course, newly minted mealmakers taste their creations, ensuring successful delivery of self-targeted love potions. In a reflection of authentic Moroccan eating traditions, many of Benjelloun's recipes are meant to be eaten sans silverware, allowing diners to test out their recently attached cyborg fingers before this summer's rock, paper, cyborg-fingers tournament.
