Warm and kind teacher - Chef Laila was amazing, kind, instructive, patient, thoughtful and a great teacher. For the price of eating out in Marrakesh you get a master course in cooking, buying ingredients and one of the best meals ive had out in the city.
Cant wait to get back and make the recipes we learned.
We even had people with dietary restrictions and she made sure to accommodate them with grace and ease.

This Moroccan cooking... - This Moroccan cooking class was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The chef was incredibly friendly, funny, and genuinely entertaining, making the entire experience feel warm and engaging. We didn’t just follow recipes, we learned so many useful cooking hacks and techniques that I’ll actually use at home, especially for making an amazing, authentic tagine.
The class was very well organized and impressively clean, which made everything run smoothly and comfortably. It felt like the perfect balance of education and fun, and I walked away with new skills, great memories, and a deeper appreciation for Moroccan cuisine. Highly recommended!

Immersive - Exactly what we wanted, a local chef to teach us essentials of local cooking. Chef Laila is charming, fun, and sweet, and she knows her stuff. The class was well organized and effective. Highly recommended.

A brilliant, authentic experience to learn about the family culture of Morocco - Absolutely fantastic, I really felt like I was a part of the family. I can’t wait to take these recipes home. Really, the value for money is phenomenal - we were there for about 5 hours & which I was not expecting. It was amazing xx

An excellent experience - This experience was really good and I was a bit fearful before I went because my level of cooking is not very high but I had no problems at all.
