Great food and company - Yassine is great! The entire experience from start to finish is wonderful. You have over 12 dishes to choose from and you get to go to a local market to purchase the ingredients. This was a highlight from my trip to Fes

Great Evening! Can’t wait to cook the dishes again - We had an amazing evening! There was a great range of dishes to choose from and we got to try some extra homemade treats. Yassine was a great host, he was very fun and informative - he gave us lots of information about the local area, Moroccan culture and cuisine as well as teaching us how to cook! I would definitely recommend to any foodies visiting Fes, I can’t wait to get home and cook the dishes again for friends and family

Authentic, holistic experience with delicious food, warm hospitality & cultural insights - More than just a simple cooking class, this was an authentic, holistic experience with delicious food, warm hospitality and cultural insights. Yassine is not only a talented chef, but also a personable guide who truly cares about you. We were given an extensive menu in advance to choose 2 favorite dishes to learn to prepare. In addition to these 2 main dishes were sides, bread, and desserts prepared in advance by Yassine and his mother. My husband, 16 year old daughter and I were taught many tips and tricks for prepping the vegetables, choosing spices, and creating a visually stunning meal. We were also taught how to make traditional Moroccan mint tea. It was a wonderful evening from start to finish with lovely conversation. We were so impressed by Yassine's genuine warmth and trustworthiness that we booked a Hammam experience with him for the following evening. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Yassine's cousin, Wafae, attended my daughter and I, while he and his uncle went with my husband. This was a true local Hamman, not a glossy spa version, which is what we were looking for. It was beautiful to experience the sense of community and service that is part of this weekly cultural routine. Yassine has a small team of trusted family and friends that work together to offer so many different experiences in Fez, I encourage you to explore their offerings and don't hesitate to book any or all!

Great experience! - Yassine gave us an excellent cooking class in Fez. It started with a great tour on the local market, a place you would never come as tourist. Afterwards he learned us very precisely how to cook a chicken tagine and zalouk. Thanks again for the great day!

Fun experience, authentic Moroccan cooking - We enjoyed our cooking class (as well as the resulting food) with Yassine and would definitely recommend the experience. We chose to make the beef/prune tagine and zaalouk dishes. It was really interesting seeing how these dishes are made authentically in Morocco, as opposed to from recipes in cook books. Yassine was very organised, knowledgeable and great company.

Great experience and a lot of fun! - We are a family of 4 (kids both 10yrs) that participated in a cooking class with Yassine and family and we had a ball! The food we cooked was better than we have had in restaurants around Morocco and Yassine provided insight to not only cook great Moroccan food, but also to Moroccan culture. To top it off, Yassine took us to his 'Spice Man' in the Medina on the way home so we could stock up on the same spices that we used in the class plus more. It was a great experience and highly recommended

Experience authentic Moroccan food in a home setting - Well before our class, we were contacted by Yassine and asked to choose 2 dishes to make on the day. There was a really good selection. We opted to be picked up and dropped off at our Riad for a small extra charge. This was a sensible move as the lesson takes place in Yassine’s apartment and it would have been very difficult to find otherwise. The kitchen was spotless. All the ingredients and equipment that we needed were out ready. Yassine instructed us in the preparation and cooking of our Moroccan dishes. The final results and presentation was checked by his mum which was quite amusing! Afterwards we were rewarded with a very tasty lunch followed by orange slices with cinnamon and freshly made mint tea. Yassine sent us our recipes later by WhatsApp with very detailed instructions so that we can confidently reproduce the authentic tastes of Morocco at home. The best things about our cookery course were the excellent communication before and after, Yassine’s patient instruction and good organisation and the great tasting food that resulted.
