A fabulous opportunity to experience and learn home Moroccan cooking and the culture of the people. One not to miss!!! - A really excellent half-day cooking class which I can wholeheartedly highly recommend. Extremely friendly, helpful and professional. We learnt an art in Moroccan cooking with Fathia and Samira, who went out of their way to ensure we had a truly memorable experience. Excellent English speaking event with French and Arabic language also available. The 4.5 hours simply flew by. Do not miss this wonderful experience!!!

Learning outside of time - Thank you very much for this sharing and this unique experience! We had a wonderful time and learned a lot. I highly recommend this experience supervised by Fatiha to taste local and above all to be able to bring home authentic flavors.
THANKS :)

A lovely cooking experience - So much fun! Starting in the market to collect produce then back to Fatiha’s house for cooking with her and her Aunt. It was excellent. Our group was lovely (all Brits!) and we got to converse whilst Fatiha and Aunt showed us what to do. We ate everything we made which included a lovely tagine, beautiful cous cous and a fruit dessert. All washed down with Moroccan tea-a delightful few hours inside their lovely house

A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!! - I can’t recommend this enough! It was the most wonderful day, learning to cook traditional Moroccan food in a beautiful family home. We even got to dress up in the traditional clothes which was just incredible and made the experience feel even more special . Thank you so much Fatiha and your aunty for such a fabulous experience!

One of Our Favourite Moroccon Experiences!! - Fatiha and Samira were so accommodating and went above and beyond to give us the best experience. We had to originally cancel as my partner was sick, but they offered to rescheduled to the next day, even though they don't usually take bookings on that day. They even changed their plans to fit us in. We are very grateful.
The class/day itself was fantastic and one of, if not, our favourite Moroccan activities. If you are looking for an authentic cultural experience, while learning how to make amazing traditional food, then this is a must!
Thank you Fatiha & Samira!
PS: I hope you and your friends and family are safe and well - our thoughts are with you!
