Fantastic Day at Lamia Chef - We had the most fantastic day learning how to cook traditional Moroccan dishes in Abdellah’s beautiful family home. A huge thank you to Chef Rachida (Lamia Chef) for her warmth, patience, and incredible cooking skills. And heartfelt thanks to Abdellah, Khadija, Amina, and our gorgeous Asma for looking after us and welcoming us like family. The whole experience felt authentic, hands-on, and filled with laughter and wonderful flavours. I highly recommend this cooking experience to anyone visiting Marrakech — it’s the perfect way to connect with local culture and make unforgettable memories. I made new friends

Amazing experience learning how to cook Moroccan food! - Absolutely fantastic experience! Pickup was on time (a great start) hosts, translator and chef were all amazing! The home is beautiful and everything is well organized and they take the time to walk through anything you are curious about or to take notes. Food was amazing. Was a highlight of my trip!

Warm hospitality, wonderful food - I had heard about how Moroccan hospitality is legendary, but this experience made it real. We had a wonderful experience learning to make Moroccan dishes, and the team kindly put on a chocolate making workshop for our two small children. We instantly felt at home, and not only did the team teach the grown ups some great cooking techniques and provide a wonderful meal and experience, but they also were so incredibly kind to our kids. This was a great family memory!

Unforgetable cooking event - We have been here for a cooking session. What to say? We had an awsome experience. The people are super friendly, the preparation of the dinner was shown in small steps and we have done out part to a delicious meal. I have done some cooking events in the past, however this one was the best ever so far. I can really recommend doing it yourself. Thanks family Lamai for an unforgetable afteroon / evening.

Authentic experience/ authentic experience - A beautiful afternoon in authentic setting. We were picked up at our Riad by the operator of Lamai Cuisine. Then we started the Moroccan tea ritual with tasty cookies. Followed by an introduction to cooking with spices. All this was accompanied by a charming interpreter who could speak both English and a little Dutch. This was followed by practice, taught by an experienced chef who mastered the tricks of the trade and could also transfer them. After the practice, the trial moment followed and we were allowed to enjoy our own creations. To end the day we got a traditional Moroccan coffee with spices, delicious! Afterwards we got the recipes on paper and the driver took us back to the Riad Very nice people, highly recommended!

A magnificent Moroccan cooking course - What an experience! After a Ritual Welcoming by the family and by the traditional mint tea executed in the rules of the art and with all the explanations about the origins, we went into the kitchen. And here! What a pleasure to have had such an experience. Rachida, outstanding teacher accompanied us in the making of a couscous with 7 succulent vegetables followed by a chicken tagine with candied lemons then thousand holes pancakes to finish with anise and sesame rolls. What a delight! We were a family of 4 and we highly recommend Lamai Chef cooking workshops!!!
