Cooking, culture, Moroccan Markets all in one day! - This experience is incredible! You get a market, cooking, culture, and so much more experience all one afternoon! It was delicious food, it was so cool to learn authentic cooking techniques. This is a fabulous activity, I can't suggest it enough. Wonderful way to learn about Morocco. Our chefs were amazing!

My partner and I... - My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class experience. We made the best tasting tajine we’ve eaten since arriving in Morocco. The chef and host were so kind and dynamic. Highly recommend this activity!

Fun, tasty, Moroccan cookery class - Thank you so much for the incredible experience! We really loved going to the market and everyone was included in the cooking process. Chef Khmisa was very generous sharing the recipes with us afterwards and I'm looking forward to cooking the salads, tagines and pastilla back home! Very tasty, very fun, very educational.

Excellent tuition - This is a great way to learn how to make moroccan food from scratch in a fun and inclusive way. First shop for ingredients then prepare and cook a 3 course meal. Brilliant value for money.

You don't want to miss this delicious experience! - This was by far one of the best cooking classes I've ever taken, and I've taken a lot. The experience in the market was delightful but when we got to class everything was exceptional staring with a lovely cup of green tea with mint. The instruction itself was outstanding with everyone getting to participate with every dish hands on, learning every step. Then eating the delicious food afterwards. We made friends (there were 16 of us) and took home the recipes and the great memories. Highly recommend

Beautiful Moroccan experience - Cooking lessons in a very nice group. Purchasing food in the souk directly is a plus for the workshop. The proposed recipes are tasty, and sent directly by Whatsapp to all participants afterwards. Nice experience we recommend.

Don’t miss this mouthwatering, fun and inclusive Moroccan cooking experience - The class is very inclusive regardless of cooking experience. My husband is a very good cook and I’m an absolute beginner, but I never felt awkward. Kawtar and Khmisa are gorgeous, super friendly people that make you feel quite at ease. The cooking is a joint experience as a group rather than individual. I would 200% recommend and the food is delicious !!

Very nice Moroccan cooking experience - This cooking workshop was a very nice experience. A pleasant hostess, together with a dozen other participants buy ingredients at the market and then prepare them in a delicious Moroccan meal. Highly recommended, especially if you are interested in the local eating habits, herbs and recipes. After lunch we also got all the details to try again at home.
