family time - We booked a private cooking class in Marrakech with Zohra and Fatima, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The class was intimate and personal, and we learned to make chicken tagine with lemon and olives, zaalouk, and homemade Moroccan bread. Zohra’s warmth and Fatima’s clear guidance made everything so enjoyable .it felt like cooking with family rather than in a class!

the kids they loved it! - We came with our two kids (8 and 11), and I was worried they might get bored, but they loved it! Zohra showed them how to shape the bread, and they were so proud when it came out of the oven. Fatima was incredibly patient and explained everything in a way they could follow. We made lamb tagine with prunes, plus Moroccan salads, and everything was delicious. It wasn’t just a cooking class — it was a family moment we’ll always remember.

An Unexpected Highlight - We booked this cooking class with Zohra and Fatima at the last minute, not really knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be the best decision we made on our entire trip. Zohra is the most gracious host you could ask for. She welcomed us into her home with a huge smile, and you could just feel the warmth. Her daughter, Fatima, was amazing—so patient and clear with her instructions. We learned how to make a beautiful Seafood Tagine, which was a nice change from the usual dishes we'd been eating. The whole experience was so personal and authentic. It didn't feel like a tourist activity at all; it felt like we were learning from family. It was such a special, unexpected highlight.

The Real Deal - If you're tired of tourist traps, you have to do this cooking class. This is the real deal. Zohra is a fantastic cook and a wonderful host, and her daughter, Fatima, is a pro at explaining everything. There was no fluff, just a genuine, simple cooking experience. We made a beautiful Vegetable Tagine with Saffron and Ginger, using the freshest ingredients. Zohra showed us the traditional way to prepare everything, and Fatima made sure we understood every single step. The whole thing felt so authentic and honest. We got to ask questions, learn about the culture, and just enjoy being in a real home. The food was so incredibly delicious, way better than anything we had at a restaurant. It was a true highlight of our trip and worth every penny.

A Refreshing Break from the Crowds - I've been to a lot of touristy spots, so when I found Zohra and Fatima's cooking class, I was ready for something genuine. This wasn't a show; it was an honest-to-goodness cooking experience. Zohra is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet, and her kitchen is the most welcoming place. She taught us how to make a big pot of classic Harira (Moroccan lentil and tomato soup) from scratch. Fatima's energy was great. She was our translator and made everything so clear and simple. The best part was just sitting down with them afterward and sharing the meal we'd all cooked together. It felt like a small, beautiful moment of real life. If you want an authentic, no-frills, absolutely delicious experience, this is the one.

A Foodie's Dream Come True - Okay, if you're a foodie, you have to do this. My friend and I were looking for a cooking class that went beyond the usual tourist stuff, and Zohra's was the real deal. We didn't just make a tagine; we learned to make Pastilla, that crazy-delicious sweet and savory phyllo pie. Zohra is a total master, and watching her work was like watching an artist. Fatima was just as incredible. She patiently explained every single step, from how to get the phyllo just right to the perfect balance of spices. They made this complex dish feel totally achievable. And the end result? The best meal we had on our entire trip. It was so much fun and just so real. They're seriously the best.

Cooking with Zohra and Fatima: A Family's Perfect Day Out - If you're looking for an activity that the whole family will love, I can't recommend this enough. Our cooking class with Zohra and her daughter Fatima was an absolute blast for everyone, including our kids. Zohra, the amazing mom and host, was so patient and kind. She made the process fun for the little ones, letting them help with kneading the dough for our delicious homemade bread and stirring the pot for our chicken tagine with olives and potatoes. Her daughter, Fatima, was equally wonderful. She translated everything so effortlessly and was so good with our kids, answering all their questions and making them feel like little chefs. It felt less like a class and more like a cherished afternoon spent with new friends. We all left with full stomachs, new skills, and the best memories of our trip. This is a must-do for any family visiting!

Authentic Culinary Immersion with Zohra and Fátima - My cooking experience with Zohra and her daughter Fátima was much more than just a cooking class; it was a real immersion in Moroccan life. Zohra, the talented mom and host, shared not only her recipes, but also stories about culture and life in Morocco. She taught us how to prepare a delicious vegetable tagine with fresh spices that we selected at the market, a moment in itself, full of life. His daughter, Fátima, was our perfect guide, patiently translating and sharing details about ingredients and traditions. Together, they made us feel like part of their family. The experience was totally authentic, from the animation of the kitchen to the incredible taste of the food we created. It's a memory I'll cherish forever.

A Hands-On Culinary Adventure - This cooking experience with Zohra and Fatima was exactly what I was hoping for – authentic, engaging, and delicious! Zohra, the mom and host, has an incredible ability to make complex cooking techniques seem effortless. We had the fantastic opportunity to learn how to make traditional couscous from scratch, a process that is as rewarding as it is delicious, and a hearty vegetable tagine. Fatima, her daughter, was a superb presenter and translator, ensuring we understood every nuance and nuance. She fostered a fun and interactive environment where questions were always welcome. The hands-on nature of the class, combined with the genuine warmth of Zohra and Fatima, made for a perfect day of culinary discovery. I left feeling inspired and incredibly satisfied.

Cooking from the Heart: Zohra's Chicken and Lemon Tagine - This cooking class was the most authentic experience I had in Morocco. Zohra, our kind-hearted mom and teacher, opened her home to us and taught us how to make her family's signature chicken and preserved lemon tagine. Her passion for cooking is contagious, and it was a privilege to learn from her. Fatima, her bright and patient daughter, was the perfect partner, translating with ease and offering helpful tips every step of the way. We prepared a truly wonderful meal together, and I felt like I was cooking with a family, not just taking a class. The flavors were incredible, and the entire atmosphere was so genuine and welcoming. It was an unforgettable day filled with laughter and delicious food.
