Extraordinary - Very good time shared with Ibrahim visiting the big souk on Sunday then extraordinary sharing with Zahara who guided us to cook an excellent couscous! Generous hosts, a human stopover and cut off from time with simplicity and warmth! Thank you!

excellent cooking experience - The cooking class has been a great experience for me, Zara makes the best tajine and I'm glad that I now know how to imitate this home:) I learned a lot about Moroccan cuisine but also culture, which I found super interesting. It was also wonderful to see how much love and effort goes into the dishes that Zara cooks, I am grateful that I was able to participate. Next time I want to show myself how to make couscous 😋😋
