Most tourist destination in Morocco - Of all the imperial cities, this is the most touristy, dedicating more days to it is important. I think three days is very good.

Delicious tagine!!! - We really enjoyed this - going with a local to buy the food and spices and then cooking a tagine (which was delicious) and various salads on the roof of a riad. Great to meet some local people and some other travellers. My three teenage children 19/17/15 enjoyed it all - and learnt how to make a tagine! Thank you!

Must have!!! Best experience in Marrakesh to visit! - This was my first cooking class ever and I will remember it for a lot time, that’s for sure) Everything was great - starting by traditional shopping in traditional places, finishing by delicious meal cooked by ourselves in a wonderful Riad. Madame La Chef is an amazing person and wanted to share with us as much as she could with four hours. Definitely recommended for all kinds of people: solo (as I was), friends and families) Great experience, amazing value for its price!

Educational. Fun. Delicious. - What a lovely way to learn about Moroccan cooking and the ways of the food markets in Marrakech. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful. The Riad we cooked in was beautiful. Long lunch in the sunshine in the rooftop. Gorgeous.

Wonderful experience, highly recommend - Wonderful experience. As others have noted we shopped for groceries in the medina, then returned to the riad to prepare mint tea, a lovely salad, chicken tagine, and a fruit dessert. To be honest it was the best chicken tagine we had our entire 10 day trip in Morocco. Many places serve chicken tagine but this one was the most flavorful. Anyway we had a wonderful time and I'm quite happy that we booked this class.

Highly recommended - We picked this class over the other ones since shopping groceries in the medina is part of the experience, and I think it was a great idea! Thanks to the amazing hostess, the class was fun and interesting, finished with the best tajine we had in Morocco! Highly recommended!

Authentic experience - An excellent experience. We first went to the market to buy a very fresh 😉 chicken and vegetables for which we then prepared for the tagine. Also made a fresh salad under careful guidance. Friendly, informative and delicious food. The whole activity was about four hours, including lunch, so excellent value for money.

Fun experience - really enjoyed this - our hostess was friendly and helpful, and was very able to include all of us, even though we had all ages and several different languages. The tour to gather ingredients was educational and fun, and cooking facilities were very nice and everyone involved was great.
